Thank goodness there is a search function. I was able to track this post down. I want to say thank you , Thank You, THANK YOU! I've been wracking by brains for weeks trying to figure out the main conflict for the story I want to tell. I have a world, characters factions all ready to go. Just nothing would click properly. When I read this, it all fell into place. It was something about being with the undesirables, and the crackdown. Suddenly the whole conflict exploded in my head. Now I have the conflict, four different factions, two main characters, bad folks coming back from beyond the grave wanting to rule the world again,revolutionaries, and demi-gods. And just maybe, zombies. |

I have no idea. *Looks lost*
It's my other half's birthday if that helps your thought process.

Goooooood afternoon!! Oy, long day is long. Rushing out press releases at the last minute is not as much fun as it sounds...
Whut up people? What did I miss? Did the apoxyclips come?

I'm so sleeeepy. Please set up a coffee IV for me.
Sending out a partial submission today, once I do a final read of the synopsis. And then it's back into the editing cave to cut out more eyes.

I'd better not tell Bos that not only have I read the first three Twilight novels (I reviewed them for the British Fantasy Society), I've seen all the films so far.
And now off to review a Doctor Who DVD before Pointless (UK quiz/game show) starts.

Morning folks.
I'm having one of those head aches where my skull hurts so bad that if I don't keep it in a certain position it feels like it's going to explode. I think I strained some muscles from all the coughing and stuff. Quote:
I'm going to go take some drugs now.

Also, should I be lucky enough to secure a better job with reasonable hours, one of the first things I want to do is reincarnate the AW Thursday SFF chat by coordinating and promoting the zombie juices right out of that sucker. My schedule now doesn't allow it, but if it did.... Back in the day, hubs used to pull kid duty those evening so I could participate.

Agreed. Now I have an IT support team right here, and even though it's his birthday I could send him along if you think it would help.
