This is so much fun to write!

This is not a story I think I will be able sell - screenplays are a hard one in Australia and from Australians - but that means I can just go balls to the wall and make this as insane as I want.

I've combined a Diprotodon, a cassowary, a Tasmanian Tiger, and a theropod dinosaur to create the Die-protodon itself and it is just insane. When there is just a fun story to be told, and when I really don't care where the characters take the story, then as a pantser, these are the times that are the most fun to write. Just letting a bunch of characters you know are going to die horribly go about their lives before, well, dying horribly really is so satisfying and, yes, fun.

No, there's nothing wrong with me - I'm just a writer.
