The Walking Dread
Well AMC, I am continuing to watch your little zombie program, while being very clear that this season is no where near as good as last season. Last season had crazy character development, an intense plot, tons of jeopardy, stuff happening constantly--constantly. This season totally feels like you've stretched 1 or maybe 2 eps worth of plot into three or four episodes. Who do you think you are? LOST? Well, you're not. LOST would have known enough not to fire Frank Darabont.
And Shane, you can just about go fuck yourself. Seriously.
As I work on this last round of pre-editor edits in The Finster Effect, I'm faced with an issue.
I'm not very good at writing gory scenes. I'm not sure if it's part of my impatience as a writer. I always have to go back and remind myself to describe what people and things look like. Honestly, aside from a few key points, I just don't think that sort of thing is very important. It's not about the precise manner in which guts come pouring out of someone. The thing that matters is how people felt about it, how it changed them, how it relates to everything that happened afterward. For a zombie book, there isn't a whole lot of gore. In fact, one of the things I'm working on in this pass is having everyone be just a bit more evil to each other. They aren't frightened enough somehow, so people who should be panicking really aren't. I have to say though, the animals are outstanding.
Food delivery is today. I've never cooked sun chokes before and I'm open to suggestions if anybody has any. Also planning the menu for my annual birthday bash. H wants pasta tonight. I notice his desire for pasta has waned somewhat since we switched to the whole grain stuff.
Once I leave the day-job today, I'm off until Saturday.
I predict a scribstrvaganza of epic proportions. Yay!
