2018: Twelve Laughing Months from Andy Zach

You may ask why is my post entitled ‘2018: Twelve Laughing Months’? Because while working as a comic author and blogger I laugh almost every day. I invite you to share my laughter.

That’s a high standard for a blog! If I fall short, you can always make fun of me! Comment here if you like or dislike this post, or in the comment section below.

Twelve Laughing Months: January

So what funny thing happened in January? I finished writing my first draft of Paranormal Privateers, my Novel for November by NaNoWriMo. It’s funny, because you’re supposed to finish in November. It’s funny because I actually wrote the required 50,000 words in November–and was less than half done. I misplanned–badly.

After that struggle, I was ready for some humor: The Latest Zombie Humor From Around the Web.  

Here’s my favorite from that post:

Chickens from space!

There also this: Get Your Ridiculous On. That post has this video:

Bruce Lee with a light saber. What more could you want?
Following is February . . .

Twelve Laughing Months: February

February was worse for me as a writer–I had to edit my first draft. And I was under a time crunch. And my illustrator was behind. And my editor needed time. And I’d already committed to a launch date in May.

What’s funny about that? I kick off the month with Paranormal Super Bowl!

What happens when 100,000 zombie turkeys land during the Thanksgiving Day football game?

Then there is this educational video:

Aren’t you eager to use ‘crapulous’ in a sentence?

Moving on to March . . .

What can be funnier than your own tombstone? The epitaph on it! It’s all in this blog post, Andy Zach’s Tombstone. But don’t worry–there’s still more to come!

Naturally, I must start with the novel that climaxes on Thanksgiving day. Laugh at this except I read from my novel Zombie Turkeys. From blog post:A Zombie Turkeys Thanksgiving to You–Say What?

After Thanksgiving I went to Chambanacon, a relaxacon, a relaxed SciFi/Fantasy convention. Here’s a picture of me and Brenda Sutton, to give you the vibe there.
