Naming of the Book Poll

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

Update....  The book is still going strong, we have added some new characters, and are getting real close to the end of Book 1.
It should be finished by the end of this year...

[long live kong]

Keep it going Doc - hope it gets published.

Go Doc! 

[Scatter]

Awesome my friend!!

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

here is what I am thinking, I have yet to inform the co-writer of this...
we finish Book 1 and take a hiatus before starting on Book 2....that way, we can see if we can get the first one published..
I would like to start a new project, however, the co-writer may not want to be involved with my new idea...so, I may be going solo on it.
I would like to write a Zombie Apocolypse novel, based on the RPG that I have been playing at the RolePlayerGuild...
I already have some interesting characters lined up for it...

Carl"Odin" Riggs..Convicted felon, leader of a biker gang, known as "Sons of the Norse".
Sgt.Scott Cooper...Marine Sniper returning home from the war.
Travis Walker...Game Warden, was on a hunting trip when the outbreak happened.
Jun Lee...martial arts instructor and freerunner, was visiting sick grandfather, when the outbreak happened.
Robert Parker....construction worker.
Chantelle Black...17 year old student, who witnessed her entire family slaughtered by zombies
and a few others....

Tinking the name may be "The Final Stand" but that's not 100% yet...

I  LIKE  IT!!!!!!   Doc- I wish I had your big juicy brain for one day!  Ok- now you're probably weirded out by some crazy lady, but I have a good feeling about those characters! And they already seem ready to be put into action.  I can't get over how these people and non-people just pop right out of your brain!  I couldn't even make up bedtime stories for my kids when they were little.      It must be nice to have the gift of story. I can't wait to read them!

Without sounding like a wii commercial 

IMAGINATION....I pretty much grew up as an only child, my brothers and sisters(who are half) never really wanted the baby around.
So, I would have to entertain myself....and growing up in the country with ravines,giant trees,creeks,caves,etc.....really helped the illusion of the imaginary world.
Now, that I am older and not able to explore as I did as a kid, I bring the world to me.
Most kids today want videogames or Movies and play them 24/7...
I guess, in a way, you could say I am just a big kid....the Peter Pan Syndrome..

Well thanks, Doc. I feel like I got a free sample of your brain!    My grandson is an only child and he lives in a semi-rural area and he is exhibiting an awesome imagination! It must have come from my daughter in law's side of the family. He has been telling me stories for a couple of years and he reads more than I do. I'm very happy that you are using your brain for good instead of well.....you know. And don't listen to Scatter- I get first lookies at the bookie! He'll probably try anything to get to read it first- lock it up as you're writing it.  Anyways, your family must be very proud that they have someone entertaining in the family. I paid thousands of dollars for private clarinet lessons for my daughter, only to have her wind up being a dentist and never pulling out her instument ( musical NOT dental) and play me some sweet music on demand! I'm sorry......I'm bitter about that! I mean you think she'd whip it out of its case and play happy birthday or something........ Sorry. Well anywho- thanks again for all the updates on your writing and take care of that BRAIN!!!!!

One enormous flaw...........which character is me?

One enormous flaw...........which character is me?

You would be in the beginning, the guy kickin back next to the pool,sipping on a tall glass of iced tea..... as the dead infest the beach resort, and attack you from behind ripping you apart at the seams....   

why dont we ever see zombies attacking at a beach?

why dont we ever see zombies attacking at a beach?

It's because that darn sand just gets in everywhere! Especially when your skin is already dessicated and torn!

Nice!! Actually, given the option, I prefer being ripped apart by zombies to sitting at the beach.

[charp13]

Ooooooooooh!  Bloody beach sand and blood splattered sand castles!  I like it!!   Little crabs scuttering around-blinded by the flying blood! Zombies on the beach delight me way too much!

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

the zombie book shall take it's place on the backburner for now....., which brings me to my new project, which I have already posted it's own thread. 

[long live kong]

I really like the sound of those characters Doc - especially like the idea of a free-runner navigating an undead world!
