Zombieman's blog

You know I love 'em! Game conventions, I mean. I'm talking board, role playing, miniatures and card game conventions, not gambling sort of games, which I would not have the fortitude for. 

The first con of the year is typically Gamicon in central/eastern Iowa. Usually I just bring a shit load of...shit and sell it at the auction and then pick up a few choice pieces of other people's shit to haul back home. Typically there would be little gaming. This year was different; no hauled shit, no bought shit, just gaming. 

Writing wise I figured out some of my problems lately; not making time for it, not having a decent laptop to work on. I have a variety of other time draining thing going on in my life (don't we all?) and eking out time to write has been challenging lately. Medical stuff, house stuff, car stuff, work stuff, all these have contributed to lower than desired word count. Truth be told I am not feeling much for the work on TZC6 that I have done, in fact I have resolved to salvage a few things from it and start it over.

TZC1 is fully posted now. 

I think I may either do a few of the short stories or get stubs for all the books built next. (For the Zombie Chronicles.) Hopefully over the next couple of days there will be enough content to launch this version of the website.

This is going to be a lot slower than I had hoped... I cannot import my old files into the new site, so I am manually recreating the 'books'. So far I have added each 'Universe' I work in (James Rover, The Zombie Chronicles and Shiners) and put a little data out in each of them. 

To that end I have posted through Chapter 30 of TZC1: Outbreak tonight.  Now only, er, 12 more books to go! At 20 chapters a night that will take me another month I am sure. Then I can start adding new content like I want to. 

I am updating and changing the layout slightly of the website. This is to help both me in maintaining it and the people (you) who use it find the stuff they want faster. 

The blog (this page you are on now) will be changing too and all previous entries will probably be scrubbed from the web after being backed up once the site is done. In so much as you can get anything off the web these days...
