Pt. 23 - Neurons Like Brandy - Chapter 8: Isaac

Neurons Like Brandy is a long running project of mine that I have been trying to finish for about 8 years. It focuses on a house in Brighton after the zombie apocalypse has passed, with flashbacks told by one of the remaining survivors every other chapter.

The chapter numbering is a little confusing so if this is your first time here and you are interested in reading more then I would recommend starting at the index where each of the chapters are ordered in the manner that they are meant to be read.

Below is the recounting of the main character's, Dan, housemate Isaac

In between the other chapters are the mindless rambles of an insane DJ - Henry Kissinger - and the current chapter is focused on the fourth incursion. Read away, although I would recommend you start from the beginning if you haven't already.

After the last chapter, which focused on Oli, the novel switches back to the present and focuses on the main character's, Dan, descent.

Otherwise, welcome to chapter 7 of the flashbacks this focuses on Oli.

Pt. 18 - Neurons Like Brandy - Chapter 7: Present

 Welcome to the new home of Neurons Like Brandy, a novel a recommenced about a year ago as a dedication to the singer from a band I used to listen to called Cay. Her name was Anet Mook. 

Neurons Like Brandy is a zombie book, I know pretty much everyone is sick of zombie stories what with yet another twist on the genre called 'Warm Bodies' coming (it is out already if you are in North America) I would ask you to take the time to read this one. War Z might be more holistic but you write about what you know and this is mine.

For whatever reason this is your first chapter, I would recommend you go to the index and start from the beginning. 

Pt. 17 - Neurons Like Brandy - Chapter 6: Duck

 Welcome to part 16 of Neurons Like Brandy, this episode is dedicated to Duck's flashback. This one is slightly apart from the other recounts and will tie in with future chapters, so bear with me as it eventually pays off.
As always if this is your first time here, don't start with this chapter, instead I recommend going to the index and starting there.
I know it must be shocking for some people to see two episodes out so close together but hey, I had a good week.

Pt. 16 - Neurons Like Brandy - Chapter 6: Present

This chapter was another struggle as there was quite a bit of random weirdness. For reference there is about a 1 year break I took between writing this Chapter and the previous one. This was also when I decided to introduce the first chapter as a portent. There are a couple of real 'fuck you's in there with me deciding to completely abandon story arcs just because I felt like it felt more real to do so. One that is abandoned in this chapter is one that I have entertained shitting all over in the fourth book I wanted to write (I remember calling it my 'Jay and Silent Bob strikes back').

This chapter gets a bit weird and I think it reflects where I was at when writing it. I think I had realised that I need to start thinking about the end of the book and heading in that direction, so I did.
If you have come here randomly by searching for Cay (and I know that you are out there, I have proof) then this is part of a long running story and you can find all of the chapters here.

Pt. 15 - Neurons Like Brandy - Chapter 5: Orfax

Am trying to set something up separately in the next couple of weeks and at that point Badger Commander is going to change again, or well, change back.
This week is a Orfax's turn to talk about the onset of the end of the world.
For those a bit behind go to the index.
Otherwise, read below the break.

Pt. 14 - Neurons Like Brandy - Chapter 5: Present

Welcome to another episode of Neurons Like Brandy. Apologies that the updates are becoming less frequent. The chapters are harder to update as they need more work, events need to change, character motivation oscilates and needs to be balanced. Whole swathes of text are being rewritten as you read this and it is way, way harder than I had first imagined. 
The last chapter was told from Jocelyn's perspective and I am pretty happy with it. This episode, not so much, I've been agonising over it for about two weeks in between doing a couple of short road trips.
Things are moving along in the household but I am not entirely sure that they are moving along at the correct pace. Too fast maybe?
Anyway, as usual, if you have come here for the first time and are interested in reading a zombie novel. Go to the full index here.
