Zombeeluv's Mission Statement  I promise to be mildly coherent. I promise to post something when I have the time. I promise to tell bad jokes, share the word of the day/week, give antidotes of things that have happened in my life and poke fun at as many things as possible.It is my goal to not only be informative but also entertaining and somewhat annoying in my insistent use of bad zombie jokes, art and literature. Please NOTE: I wish I were better at blogging, communicating or multi-tasking, but I am not. I apologize for my absence, but not for doing what I need to. Peace,

"In the End"  Byline - 150-years after aliens have come to save humanity, is there anything left to talk about. Who is Gigi? Gigi is a human on Earth in the year 2173. (One of the requirements of the story was that took place 150 years in the past or future.) Who is Tye? Tye is also human, who is looking forward to leaving and going to a Xanth paradise. Who are the Xanth? The Xanth is an alien species that landed on Earth with the intention of “saving the planet”. Why does Earth need saving? In the story, human beings were in the process of destroying the atmosphere with pollution due to food and agriculture, Transportation, and Industrialization. Why did Gigi think things might be better? There were increases in the forest and animals and it made her wonder if the Earth were still on a path of decimation, why these things were doing so well. What had the Xanth done? The Xanth removed the sources of the pollution by removing population, taking away the need to travel, and providing all food needs. Are the Xanth good or bad? For the context of this story, they are neither good nor bad. ***This story may or may not lead to additional stories in this world. I like the premise and the questions it evokes. A seemingly benevolent advanced group coming to us in our time of need. Would they accept us, farm us, build us up, treat us as equals even though we obviously were not as technically able, would they share their knowledge, or keep us as we were? Would we see them as monsters, teachers, a blessing, or gods? This story isn’t a new premise, but I feel like it evokes a thousand variations with lots of food for thought. |
| OMFG – On My Freaking Gallbladder, I didn’t mean to be gone for so long. So, we had a pandemic. (I’m just going to let that stay there and not comment any further.) I completed my bachelor’s degree and got a new job. There were a lot of things. It was not an easy time. I hope you, whoever you are reading this, are good. I, despite it all, am. Oh and in 2019 I won Nanowrimo….I still need to go back and edit my story because who completes Nanowrimo and doesn’t need to edit it. LMAO. I will start posting chapters for reviews and comments once I am ready to do things like that.  But that day is not today.I’ve been lurking around here a long time, but I know I am basically new. Just know, I have seen a lot of writing, I have reviewed and read a lot of stories. My hints to you: - Find a safe place to store all your writing. You never know when an old idea will spark a new one. I have lost more stories…my lost children break my heart. - Take all the grammar hints you can get. If you stick with this artform, you will get better. - Participate. Stephen King has been quoted as saying “Writer’s write!” And to that I add, creativity is a muscle, if you don’t use it, it atrophies. Everyday you should try to do something creative. It doesn’t have to be writing, but it does have to push you…doodle, water paint, woodwork, create a mural, do something in paint, crochet, knit, sketch out an idea, write a poem, a song, outline a novel…do anything creative. This will help your brain, and then… - Do something with your non-dominate hand: practice writing your name, write the alphabet, or draw fifty cats. It really doesn’t matter. What you are doing is pushing connections between your right brain and left. You are trying to connect logic and creativity. So, this year, I am doing "I Write in 2024" , and since many of the contests are very short stories, I thought I would put surrounding story thoughts here. Happy Holidays, I really wish you all a really good year. Lets all be creative together. Love and Peace, ZombeeLuv Zombee Hint of the Day: Being dumb, won’t save your brains. Write On! C. L. Hammer “There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly: sometimes it’s like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.” ~ Ernest Hemingway |
