Sure, I’ve dabbled with prose in the past, but it’s an exercise that always seemed to end before it ever got started. I’d come up with some idea for a novel that I thought sounded interesting, I’d tinker with it for a while before eventually losing interest and walking away.

I just kept expecting this to happen with Zombies Walk.

Still, I plugged away at my outline, using the same technique I’ve always used for film treatments, and before I knew it, I was looking at an outline that clocked in at just under 20,000 words. Trust me, no one was more surprised than I.

I feel pretty good about this.
