Zombie blog: A new font is all it takes.

Interestingly enough, the second I switched my MS WORD default font to the Georgia font that I will most likely use when printing/ eprinting my novel, my muse almost instantly returned. It’s almost as if the prior font, (Calibri) was simply offending my creativity via visual interruption.

I spent some time researching standard book sizes and ratios. As well as standard font sizes for printing. Each little thing I learn opens up a spider web of 10o other things that I need to research. There is just too much information out there. 

So once again it’s on. I pumped out another two thousand words last night, and I think that they are going to keep coming!

Here are a few:

 “Once again James, what are you referring to?” he says stepping forward.

   “You know what I’m referring to!” I shout. “And it’s fine, just don’t fucking get her pregnant. Be really careful. If she is with child, she’ll get weaker; her agility late term is going to fall to shit. She won’t be able to pull her own weight; in fact, she’ll be a burden that we’ll both have to carry, and carrying that kind of burden will get us killed. This isn’t even considering if she manages to stay alive long enough to give birth. If she gave birth, you wouldn’t be able to pull your own weight because you’d be too busy having to pull hers and a baby’s. What the hell would we do with a baby in this shit anyways? We are just learning how to survive in a world with a whole new order of things, and I have a feeling that it is going to be a long learning process that’s graded on a sharp curve, with one non-passing grade equaling death for at least one person.  

   “I’m not planning on having any babies,” says Kale. His body posture is visibly more demure after my rant.

   “Yeah…well, I didn’t see anybody grab any boxes of condoms when we raided the pharmacy a few days back. Stupider accidents have happened, so I hope you’ve been doing a fantastic job at the infamous pull out maneuver.

   Kale nods his head dejectedly. Without saying anything else, he turns around and goes back to the tree platform.
