While I had taken a creative writing class, I was surprised by the amount of sci fi writers. I never cared much about zombies and vampires. Ghosts may be acceptable, but only maybe. And even then, they tended to be a bit too cheesy for me.

But then I thought, wouldn't it then be a challenge as a writer to think of a sci fi story that hasn't been done before? Where the story doesn't revolve around the apocalypse or a vampire falling in love with a human?

So I thought and I thought, and honestly, I'm still thinking. But I may be on to something. A zombie dressed in a mascot outfit! Ehh-ehhhh...? If I want it to be a "locally-based" story, I could even put my character in some kind of Menehune mascot costume. Not sure what direction I'd take, but I'm into interesting characters. POV of the zombie in a suit would be taken, of course.

We'll see where this takes me.
