Thinkings, feelings and...doings ~ 2013

But at it's heart the Walking Dead is a monster story. We are surrounded by monsters and yet they are never as scary as the living. We just watched Rick rip out a man's neck with his teeth and we cheered. He is a monster, Rick is at his best when he is making us question our own morals in that he has always been a more "lawful good" character, he easily transforms to "lawful evil" and that is his baliwick.

The final scene in the series finale? We are reunited with most of the cast. Awesome. But there are two sides. On one side stands Rick, Michonne, Darryl and Carl, on the other is Glenn, Maggie and crew. Glenn and Maggie are good. But on the side where Rick stands, they are ALL monsters, we have reason to fear them, fear for them, and cheer them on when they create evil for the "right" purposes.

A redemption story doesn't fit where everyone is measuring their own degree of humanity.

That's so funny. I didn't notice the dichotomy right there and it's genius that you did.
 
2k? Are you running a race?

NaNoWriMo is my guess.

Yeah...I'm not really built for running.

giggles before touching her nose with one hand and pointing at him with the other

He's right. Am attempting Camp NaNoWriMo with a self imposed word count of 60,000 words to be written in April. That gives me a daily target of 2,000.

You know what, Brit. I've never done it. You want to be NaNoWriMo pen pals and see if we can push each other along?

Why not!

I did it for the first time in November last year and found motivation was a huge part of it, especially when you get into the second and third weeks.
