At least I tried...

So I guess I'm giving up on the blog challenge. Boo. I just seems like even if I were to do like 5 of them at once I would be behind. Its getting to be that point in the semester where everything is getting crazy. That and...I've started reading like a fiend. It's like becoming an addiction. And it's all the sci fi fantasy genre. I'm channeling my inner Carolyn. (Whom I miss)Like even with reading for school. I've read almost two books in a week.

I've also been writing. And I've got 8 chapters. around 60 something pages. Its about Zombies and 5 people are their trials and tribulations of trying to survive and get somewhere safe.

There's Kasia- Who is my heroine (It's almost always a heroine, sorry boys) She was born and raised to be prepared for any sort of disaster situation (Her Grandfather lived during world war II in Poland.) She tough, but has got a softer side.

Sam- Sam is pretty much Jonathan Beyus, that lucky duck. He wanted to be in a story. A laid back guy, very resourceful. His young nephew was infected and caused his whole family to leave, leaving him to catch up with them, which you know...probably won't happen. But the Character Collin reminds him of said nephew so he has a soft spot for him.

Emily- She's a bratty girl from NYC. I can't decide if I want her to be a raging bitch or too be the scared one. She's going to have some interesting character development though, I can tell you that.

Patrick- He's meant to be the bad boy of the group, the "bad seed from the wrong side of the tracks", but right now he's kinda a pervert. He may have to get edited.

Collin (who hasn't actually been written about yet.) Is going to be about 8 or 9. He got seperated from his family. Sam watches after him even though several of the other characters don't want to take the child on.

I like it. Here's hoping I don't lose steam in the middle like my other stories....One of them needs to get finished!
