There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open up a vein.

The Carpel Tunnel Martyrs' Brigade formed—or rather congealed—sometime around the beginning of the new millennium...a sure sign of the coming apocalypse.

It's members are a group of easily distracted and slightly disturbing people who have long dabbled in writing and who, for no apparent reason, have decided to band together in a concerted effort to inflict their own twisted view of art and reality on the unsuspecting public at large.

Some, having failed to find a decent local writing group, others out of an unhealthy fascination of technology and the rest out of laziness, turned to the internet as a cheap way to maintain contact while spread throughout the western half of the United States.

Riddled with ADD, they occasionally sponsor competitions and assign themselves various creative challenges whenever the mood strikes them. The results may not always—or even often—be pretty, but at least we can say they are, which is more than we could say before they were.

Their current project "Dead Space" is an anthology of short stories involving—you guessed it—zombies in space. Watch this space for further information.
