[Linkage] Z is for Zombie Apocalypse

Note: My A-Z theme is linkage. Every day (at 7:00 a.m. EST), I'm going to list three helpful industry links per letter, and then I'll ask for suggestions in the comments—that way, we can pool our resources! :)

Z is for Zombie Apocalypse:
What? If the zombie apocalypse happens, it'll affect the writing industry! It's not like I couldn't think of anything else to fit here... *cough* 

  • The CDC actually has a page about the zombie apocalypse. I find this hilarious.
  • The Huffington Post suggests "Zombie Fads Peak When People Are Unhappy".
  • I got sidetracked by the Google results for "zombie apocalypse," and let me just say, there is some weird stuff out there. Let's skip the third link and have an end-of-the-challenge dance party!
 
A-to-Z is over! Who's ready for a nap?

We must be miserable. I have never seen so much zombie stuff!

Nap? That would be me who's ready for one of those. Congrats on a job well done.

My little brother loves zombies. He's even written some zombie movie scripts for some indie movie company some friends of his have.

Carrie Butler said...

Soon. Very soon. I have a blogiversary and some friends' cover reveals/blog tours to do first. Then I am gone! LOL

Carrie Butler said...

Well, I have half of that equation down... ;)

Carrie Butler said...

Woohoo! *busts out the Macarena for no reason*

Carrie Butler said...

I guess so!

Carrie Butler said...

You too, Lee! :)

Carrie Butler said...

That's awesome! :)

Rhonda Parrish said...

Dude, I am all over a nap. I love zombies but this month has been so crazy I feel like I've been turned into one. No dancing, just napping :)

David T List said...

Thanks for all your advice through April! Going to google zombie apocalypse myself now!

Sheena-kay Graham said...

If you want to look up on some real 'zombies' Carrie, check out Zombees tracking website. I told Jolene Perry about them after seeing it on cable news. It's about bees infected by a parasite that makes them display zombie-like behaviour. Oh and congrats on making it to the end of this challenge and thanks for all the links.

Oh and virtual dance party! *Imagine myself dancing like a maniac*

Nick Wilford said...

HA! I'll share my cookies and coffee with you with the zombies arrive as a thanks for all your helpfulness :-)

Donna K. Weaver said...

That page on the CDC website is hilarious. I'm glad someone over there has a sense of humor.

Carrie Butler said...

Yay! Maybe we can convince the zombies to indulge in cookies instead of brains. :D

Carrie Butler said...

Me too! :)

Mark Murata said...

Remember to take two sharpened #2 pencils with you, in case you need to fight your way into some writing time.

Carrie Butler said...

That's a brilliant idea! :D

Anonymous said...

It's so true: if we're prepared for the zombies, we'll be prepared for anything. Congratulations on a successful finish!

Carrie Butler said...

Even the A-Z challenge! *Grins* Thanks, Milo!

klahanie said...

He Carrie,

I do understand how much you have um been eagerly awaiting one of my highly collectable comments. Or something like that :)

I must hurry with my comment. Well done for completing a challenge I would never participate in. Right, really must go...this comment was typed in front of a dead studio audience and they are headed towards...ME!!!

Carrie Butler said...

Whew! I can finally breathe again. ;)

Thanks, Gary! And don't worry about the zombies. Penny will protect you.

Probably.

RUN!
