Pretend we have forever A poem about being present

I published a new poem yesterday, inspired by a prompt from @hazelallenwrites.bsky.social.

This piece is about being present and cherishing the time you have.

I gotta shout out @styxteeth.bsky.social!

Her recent horror novel, "A Feast of Putrid Delights," is deliciously gruesome and hooks you from the first page.

She also hosts amazing co-writing Twitch streams, which I would highly recommend!

In my horror work, the one common theme when it comes to friendship is that everyone has their own agenda.

Loyalty matters, but at a certain point, saving your skin (and sometimes your eternal soul) matters more.

#HorrorWritersChat #WriteSky

Hmmmm, okay, this one stumped me for a second.

I'm going to say Dr. Armitage from my upcoming animated horror-comedy series, and Silas Blackwell from my cosmic horror WIP.

Silas is a writer, so Armitage's crazy stories would fascinate him endlessly. 😆

A little late to the party (time is funny in the void), but hello! Bradley Ramsey here, writer of cosmic horror and creator of the Synaptic Sprawl Mythos!

My three obituary words/terms regarding my writing: cinematic, insane, and surprisingly profound. 😂

Depending on how this goes, I may write a full article to encourage further discussion. However, if this becomes a war in the comments, I’ll delete this note.

I don’t want us to become enemies over how we choose to create our stories.

I’m not here to make the problem worse.

4/4

I also think anything that’s entirely written with AI should be outside this discussion as well.

I’m talking about the middle-ground here. The part where it gets blurry.

Can we have a meaningful discussion there? Even if it’s just to simply understand where both sides are coming from?

3/4

Part of me thinks that, until it becomes less of an existential threat to creativity, meaningful discussion will be out of reach.

Even so, I can’t just sit by and watch the community fracture either.

I have never, nor will I ever, use AI in any part of my creative process.

That is my approach, but I do not expect everyone else to adhere to it. Even so, I’m starting to see a schism forming in the writing community.

2/4

I posed a question to the #writingcommunity on Substack, and the discussion has been going well.

I'd like to try the same thing here.

Are we, as a writing community, in a place where we can have a discussion around AI?

For context: I do not utilize AI in any aspect of my creative process.

Power up Prompt #7: 7.26.25 A Setting, a Character, and a Conflict to use However You’d like!

Hey, fellow writers! Do you like prompts?

Power up Prompts give you a genre, a setting, a character, and a conflict to use however you'd like!

I just posted this week's prompt, which is Mystery!

Check the link for all the details -> bradleyramsey.substack.com/p/power-up-p...

I took this selfie earlier this week while working out of my company's home office (AKA not from home), and it got more likes on Substack than any other photo of me in the history of well...me.

So, naturally, it's now my profile picture. Gotta give the people what they want! 😂

Haha, thank you! I try my best to be as involved with the community as I can. I’m primarily over on Substack, but I love hanging out here as well. 😁

Love this cryptid explanation! 👏🏻👏🏻

I love that book title, and that scene from the end of DOOM absolutely scared me as a kid.

In fact, all of DOOM 2 freaked me out to no end. I was way too young to be playing it. 😂

Oooh, that sounds right up my alley. What’s the show called? I’m always looking out for new podcasts. 😁

That’s wild! I’d love to hear that story. 👀

The Not Deer It all happened so fast...

For anyone interested in my Not Deer story I mentioned in my response to question 2, here’s the link!

“Why not?” You ask.

The dancing flames glimmer in the child’s eyes.

“I’m not supposed to talk to ghosts,” they reply.

That’s when the memories hit you like a tsunami. You remember the screech of tires, the crunch of metal, and the unending black.

You’re the intruder here.

#HorrorWritersChat

So, I was actually fascinated by a local Appalachian cryptid called The Not Deer. I actually did a story inspired by it with the same name a while back.

I get a lot of deer around my house, so the legend hit close to home. 😳

I first recall being terrified by “The Red Spot” from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. 🕷️

Felt cute, might run some meetings later, idk. 😂
