    Lol! If Zombies were not cooperating with my writing plans that might make me actually clean too.

    Poor Zombie takes second place in house chores.

    This brings an image of my Work in Progress' clawing at the windows like zombies as I distract myself! I relate SO much! Nice work!

  • I mean, you do need a break from writing. But instead of an actual break, you're doing other work instead 😅😅

  • And wait they will.
