Wrote a character intro last night and they were a “I’m going to be loud so no one pays attention to me” type. Woke up this morning and realized they are actually a “I’m very unassuming so no one notices me” type. Subtle change but it feels true to the character.

“Other hunters called it an unprovoked attack.” Might be the most wtf sentence I’ve read in a good long minute.

Started outlining a new book last night and realized that I just wanted to get my characters into hell and now that they’re there I don’t know what to do with them.

Just realized adaptions of two of the best novels I’ve read in the last couple years (Caught Stealing & She Rides Shotgun) come out this month. Damn good time to love crime fiction.

Have you seen it wax and wane? In Knox area I feel like it comes and goes. Right before the election, there seemed to be very few, but immediately after its like everyone realized it was “safe” to put their signs back out.

Just pitched an anthology to my publisher with no comments other than a title. I’m so good at authoring…

It might save you, or it might kill you. Only one way to find out.

#horrorwriterschat question 3:

In my horror work, the one common theme when it comes to friendship is we’d never make it through this shit alive without each other.

What can I say? I write what I know 😂

They would, but my demon hunter Ty Burdin spilled scotch on his laptop. He wasn’t too sad about the computer, but pissed about the scotch.

Most of my characters wouldn’t ever leave their houses to meet each other, but from scrolling the feed of the #southerncharmer from my social media horror novel, they all agree that they don’t like Beau.

Hey #horrorwriterschat !
I write books that are too silly to be scary and too scary to be silly.

Pretty much every novel starts with “wouldn’t it be funny if…?” And ends with “but wouldn’t it be crazy/terrible/sad if…?”

I think “his only weakness is his family” might be the dude equivalent of “she is a quick-witted badass who is also clumsy”.

22,000 words into what I'm calling the "Filthy Casual LitRPG" novel. I'm not 100% sure where it's going or if I'm completely botching the RPG aspect*, but I'm having fun.

*This is why I have beta readers who will call me on my bullshit.

Just got stuck in traffic so long I got bored and routed the wire for my dashcam through the headliner like I’ve been meaning to do for a year now

Had to re-arrange the shelf to make room for the new anthology I edited, All Roads Lead to Hell.

Me trying to come up with names for dishes at a local hipster restaurant for the new novel:

5 chapters into the first draft of my filthy casual litRPG novel and it’s starting to feel like a thing.

Writers stop using em dashes to avoid being accused of AI.

AI plagiarizes “new” style of writing.

Headline: lack of em dashes could be a sign of AI writing.

Repeat times infinity.

Tried to go for a hike today and they mountains were so busy I had a mini panic attack and left.

Don’t all these people realize I walk through the mountains to get away from them?

I’ve written two days in a row, which doesn’t sound like much but it’s progress and I’ll take it.
