T. E. Woodard, Cosmic Horror Author

Did you know there's a never-before-seen #microfiction #horror story on my website? If you're looking to kill about a minute yet be left with a pit in your stomach for the rest of the day, give it a look!

I think I'm ready to share this now. For the past couple of weeks, I've been slowly putting together a little project for my website that I like to call a non-linear mosaic story. If you're interested in dark fantasy stuff, you can check it out here.

Very much so, yes. The pedestal that some people put AI on makes it seem like a god they're worshipping. That observation led me to explore the concept of a dystopia with AI at its center, and what would happen if that AI developed an ego.

There's an instance of wildlife and a stray cat. Pets in this story's universe are rare, primarily due to economic factors with most people living in or just above poverty. Aside from sanctuaries or underdeveloped areas, there just aren't many animals left.

I'm definitely an overwriter. In the few instances of submissions I've done, I've always had to painstakingly go through the manuscripts and cut words until I just barely managed to get under the limit.

#PitchDis

I'm a pantser through and through.
I have my main characters and a scene or two I wanna hit at most. I tend to have an end in mind, though it can change. The destination isn't hewn in stone if the journey ends up going somewhere else.

I'm definitely a pantser.

I love getting a fantastic idea, feel the rush of excitement and dive into the story with absolutely no clue where I might wind up.

I don't exactly have a favorite writing spot, no. My life's a little chaotic, so I just try to get some writing in whenever and wherever I can. I abandoned any pretense of a schedule or idealized writing scenario long ago.

#PitchDis

I've always been a pantser. Sometimes I know where I want my stories to end up, but there are fun little surprises for everyone along the way, including me.

A bit about the main character of the book..

She's a champion bull rider, and owns her own small ranch.
She has three dairy cows she sometimes hand milks to help with her mental health. All three are named off the characters from "Golden Girls"🩷

Lizzie doesn't quite live up to everyone's expectations, always falling short of the goal. Still, she's determined to live up to her family's legacy, even if it ☠️ her. #PitchDis

I checked out the hotel suite. Peered into cupboards. Pressed buttons. It looked like a suite in any London hotel. No microgravity. No round windows or built-in furniture. Not even a steam-shower.
Why come all the way to the moon and have rooms that look exactly the same as home?

Hey #PitchDis community! I've found that anxiety is always present for my middle grade characters.

one thing I always return to is homecoming, particularly the reality of not being able to go home or the possibility that home has changed without you around. as someone who struggles to identify where I’m “from,” it helps to explore how characters might deal with that

Day 4 #PitchDis
Resilience is probably the most common theme in my books.
Doing everything you must to survive. No matter what you’re up against.
😅 probably says more than I would like it to about my own life😅🤣

Her science experiment creates a wormhole. This transforms her and her little research company into a major space industry.

May or may not have forgotten the #PitchDis in the original reply. 😅

Simmons is the zealous leader of the "Children of Calypso" group. He upholds their practices without question and never turns away a prospective new member. But he may be a little too good at what be does, as he begins to draw the attention of others who would sooner dismantle his congregation.

I keep coming back to learning/accepting to be loved. 🙈

Also, anything I'm working through: identity, bodyimage, body configuration, neurodivergence, loss... it's (almost) free therapy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My stories typically center around a god-like being, either in the form of a typical eldritch deity or, more recently, man-made entities that come to be worshipped as gods. When those aren't the focus, it's usually some form of obsession.

Short and sweet, this time's all about my dystopian technohorror story.

Welcome to the abyss Delving into the macabre, the strange, and the incomprehensible one word at a time.

My website is looking better than ever, and now there's a dedicated hub for all my projects, past, present, and future. Very happy with how it's turned out, and eager to expand on the newest project and begin adding to the catalog.

I've written off and on since I was about 13 years old. I'd always enjoyed escaping to other worlds, and I found that creating those worlds myself was much more fun. But it wasn't until a couple years ago that I really took writing seriously, as in actually seeing projects through.

Welcome to the abyss Delving into the macabre, the strange, and the incomprehensible one word at a time.

After a year of neglect, my website is getting a massive overhaul. It's not finished yet, but it's in at least a somewhat usable state. If you want to check out a few stories and a new ongoing dark fantasy project, check out tewoodard.com.

If there anything you’d like us to know about you?

The four scariest words in the world are "Tell us about yourself" 😬😬

Hello, my name is T. E. Woodard, and I'm a horror author with a soft spot for poetry. I've suffered from the spicy ultrarapid cycling flavor of bipolar disorder for about half of my life, but writing has been one of the few things that helps keep me grounded.

Fantasy Indies August Day 19 Author tips that have helped me

#FantasyIndiesAugust Day 19

Every author has a different environment. Stop looking over the fence.

For some, writing IS their job. Some have offices with nice desks. Others wrote their books with a toddler and full-time job.

You're doing fine.
