I wrote a little zombie novelette a while ago and I thought I'd share it with you. The story is called Footsteps of the Undead and presents a new twist on the stale zombie genre. I took the common tropes of the sub genre and turned them on their head and deconstructed the norm. I pulled no...

I like to write something that is unique. My goal is really sime. To have the reader walk away satisfied, happy, content, ect.

I struggle with stuff like this. Usually, after I write something like that it ends up seeming like an information dump. I try to avoid that but sometimes it just happens.

I noticed in sci-fi, fantasy, and horror for that matter that fangs seem to be described alot. Usually, with some sort of saliva dripping from them. The creatures fangs glistened in the moonlight or some sort of derivative from that.

Now, what if he went on to describe the smells and such. That would of been crazy immersion. Speaking of description, I don't know if any of you have ever read Sometimes A Great Notion by Ken Kesey. His writing was so beautiful. He is an incredible influence in my writing.

I got blamed for author intrusion in my first book. Looking back I think the main reason was I just wanted to make sure people knew what a particular object was that I used as a metaphor or something. Then again, I got blasted for using to many metaphors. So perhaps, my book needed more author...

Actually, that first passage did seem like a list. Kind of a bit of author intrusion maybe? Personally, I could of been happy with reading just one or two examples. I felt like I was in botany class for a moment:(
