A little update on that lost novel situation; when I was getting some files of of GeoCities before it shuts down later this year I found a file that had the first 8 chapters, so that’s 5 more than I had to work with before. Yeah! I mean, granted the draft that was lost was 21 chapters, but this is still an improvement. As for your advice, I’m going to go ahead and start Chapter 9 over and try to finish the story.

P.S. If I get this one published, I get the feeling you’d get a kick out of it. The title is Night of the Living Impaired, and the first chapter is titled Nobody Expects The Zombie Exposition.
