DONE!
So yeah, Insula Zero is done. I’ll give you details about how to get it (eventually) as soon as all the kinks are worked out. Editing is such a pain in the ass, seriously. Anyhow, life got in the way, hence the long wait between updates… but we’re back into the swing of it now.
Rock and Goddamn Roll.

September 3 - Update
248 pages. 72’517 words. 23 completed chapters.
While I might not hit my deadline, I won’t be far off. I just finished writing a chapter I was stuck on, there was a flashback with a character that I think I mentioned in the audio post I made last week, and yes, it took me a week to get through it, a little bit at a time. I wrote 4 pages or so today and I think that while it...

Deadline
JC has appointed a deadline for us to finish Insula Zero… it is one month from today. Of course, there are no repercussions if we don’t have it done by then, but still, I’ll do my best. Coincidentally, it is also one month until I fly to Newfoundland for Trevor’s wedding. Right now we’re sitting at 225 pages of Insula Zero goodness. We’ve stil got at...

Book Update
Insula Zero Update. I’ve got today off because once a month I have to work a Saturday shift… so I get the Monday before that shift off, giving myself a long weekend. So this coming weekend will be a one day weekend, which sucks… but it gives me today to kinda hunker down and do some writing. I got up at 9am and wrote pretty much straight through for an hour and a half. I...
Interview Ideas and Questions
A while ago I asked for questions for an audio interview over on my Insula Zero Facebook Group. A few people replied and I ended up making a long audio recording with all the answers and plenty of rambling. I’m looking to do another one, an updated one, to start fresh and share it with more people via this site. Tumblr allows you to post one audio file a day, and I can get about 5-7...

Site upgrade - Comments
For some reason they made it difficult to allow outside comments on custom Tumblr pages, so I worked around it with a program called Disqus, so now anyone can comment on anything I post in here. You don’t need an account or to sign up for anything in order to comment, so please feel free to lambast, critique, or even encourage any way you feel appropriate. I’ll likely be adding a lot...

Unused 001
“Killing an infected was always a highly visceral experience. An assault on the senses, even. The loud boom and spray of shot, the meaty burst of flesh and bone, the chaos. As Perry took out this boy of about fourteen years, he inched ever closer to being accustomed to the ritual. Unfortunately, being used to something generally meant you’d never discover the pleasures in...
Starting Somewhere.
I think this will be the closest thing to an Insula Zero website for the time being. I’m going to post lines, art and sketches, and maybe even some abandoned ideas here. If you’re into the process, the book, or zombies in general… feel free to bookmark this and check back once in a while. Hopefully I’ll update it a fair bit.
See you soon.
