Do you ever run out of really good words for “reanimated corpse?” It seems like I have a hierarchy of risen dead in the project I’m revising, and my vocabulary is coming up a little short.

The internet is a wonderful place. Not only do I have friends who are not currently worrying about my well-being in light of that observation, I’m sure somebody out there is running a paranormal wiki that includes 1001 Words For Reanimated Corpse.

Cruisin’ Cadaver.

Dancin’ Deader.

Or, you know… something a little more sinister might be good.

As you can see, I’m in the holiday spirit here. The story I’m revising is evolving into something a little more complex, and I’m starting to like it a little bit more. Not, of course, enough that I’m sorry I squashed the hell out of any “series potential” it might have had.

But enough that I can see it turning into something I wouldn’t regret dropping a few bucks on.

So, three cheers for revising WIPS in the order in which they were written.

How’s your progress going?
