Writing Exercise: Zombies

First of all, I have to say that Lindsey is brilliant for posting this exercise. There’s beauty in zombies, ladies and gentlemen. I don’t care what you say.

Zombies. What more can be said?

There can be a zombie invasion or not…you can be a zombie or not…you can eat brains or not…they can be human or not…zombies can have tea, go to the ballet, shoot skeet, eat dead fish…be ravenous monsters that eat the heads off of canaries…whatever you’d like.

For this exercise, create a triptych. A poem, a journal entry, and a very short description heavy prose piece (think Mary Shelley (or my 8th grade creative writing teacher)). In all, you should total somewhere between 500-1500 words (so each part should be relatively short). You can do them however you want, in whatever setting you want. You can even interlace the three in narrative, but the three parts have to be distinct and you shouldn’t exceed the limit word limits. Post submissions as individual topics with Zombie: And then your title. I’ll set up the poll for this one after midnight on the 22nd.
