I adore this game. It doesn’t move too fast (which is excellent, since I’m incredibly uncoordinated – meaning I generally suck at most video games) and it is ridiculously quirky. I love having catapults taking out zombies via watermelon or corn. I’m highly amused by chili peppers burning zombies into cinders. And I might be little obsessed… or perhaps using it as a crutch.
See, I’ve got two completed manuscripts out in submission hell. And I’ve found that after completing a manuscript, I fall into a weird funk, a pseudo-post-partum depression. It shakes off after a couple of weeks, and I’ve got a new project that I want to get started on. Truly, I do! I just need to get my brain in gear to write and break my addiction to Plants vs. Zombies. Hey, I may not be writing, but at least I’m saving the backyard from zombies!
If only I could claim the game helped me create zombie fiction (research, yeah, that’s it). Unfortunately, as much as I love other people’s zombie stories, I don’t know that I could write one of my own. Eh. Back to the game! Writing… this weekend… I swear…
Trust me, that obsession has already swept through my home. I have it on my iPhone and laptop. Scary how fun and creepy it is to play. I get all wound up so I had to quit playing otherwise I’d never get any writing done. I’m sure you’ll figure out how much of a time suck it is and that will get you back to focusing…after all, you’ve got some stories to write!
I know – total time suck! And I’m going to be super busy writing for the next few months for sure.
