What the heck is up with the zombies?
I had a friend ask me this last night. She had read my recently-posted zombie infestation survival guide.
I laughed and told her it was just for fun. I just watched a zombie movie the other night and the next morning I just had an inspiration: “Wouldn’t it be fun to write a serious (yet tongue-in-cheek) guide on surviving a zombie takeover in your community? I tried to model it after some of those dry and matter-of-fact user guides we’ve all read (or watched on screen in school!).
My friend said she got a kick out of reading it but wondered what in the world I had been thinking? I’m a little goofy sometimes, and my sense of humor is somewhat warped on occasion, so I explained it was all just for fun - and page views (snigger, snigger).
Sometimes I just enjoy writing outside the box and stretching my repertoire. Who knows what I’ll come up with next!
If you haven’t already, read “Zen and the art of Zombie”, it’s hilarious.
