899 words written on yet another short story tonight! I think I'm almost ready to get back to the novel WIP. It depends on how I feel over the next few weeks tho.๐คท๐ฝ
As is, I still have a couple of short story ideas I'd like to get down soooo.....๐

I've noticed when I write, the story takes hold like a fever, something virulent and imminent, outpacing my capacity to analyze it's deeper meaning. It's in the aftermath that I discover the themes and meaning layered in. Anyone else work this way?

Yes it's a great feeling! This is for a flash fiction magazine BunkerSquirrel.com The current prompt is "Confessions of A Serial Killer" & I generally write horror so that works for me. I'd love to write right after work but life's too busy right now, so it's usually late evening. How about you?

Flash fiction story written! Tomorrow, when I have fresh eyes and a fully charged brain, I'll reread and edit it, but I'm feeling pretty good about it!

I'd love to have a little local writer's group, where we meet up a various spots, get coffee, food, drinks, etc, talk about our latest projects, share insights, processes, struggles, and offer feedback if desired. Yeah that'd be nice๐

A few minor edits later & a scene rewrite, and this WIP feels ready for indie/ small press eyes! Skimming through it reminded me why I love this story. So if anyone's looking for an exploration of the many monsters, literal and metaphorical, that lurk + folklore + noir vibes, hit me up!

I'm up early doing some edits on the "Teeth" WIP I've been querying. Not quite 5 AM writers club but it's something!
Also there is some strange harsh bark-moan echoing in the distance๐คจ

Taking a break from the fever dream Afrofuturistic Horror WIP and switching gears in the meantime. Diving into this short story is a much needed reset. The words are flowing and the carnage is coming.๐

As a horror lover, I donโt like when the whole 'obvious smart/sane/common sense choice ignored' thing happens. I know some take it as par for the course, but I feel like horror hits way harder when people make *relativley rational decisions.

Last night I dreamt of a beautiful intricate yet often open air city. All walks, breeze ways, open spaces & platforms, separate buildings didnโt exist. Floors weren't uniform, though all connected & every inch adorned with vivid details. So of course I have to write a story set there now lol!

Wrote a key event in this Afrofuturist Horror WIP over the weekend and a very heavy scene is coming up. The fact I'm physically experiencing symptoms of stress about it is a good thing, I think...๐ค

I was admiring the beauty of the sky while out yesterday, and itโs wild how we humans miss some of the amazing things around us. I'm at a light like, "does no one else see this??" Oh well, it made my day.๐คท๐ฝ๐

So I've started looking into Small Press and Indie Publishers that are interested in Horror and Horror adjacent work. Anybody know any, or have suggestions or recommendations?

That's awesome! I did X-Kids in like the 4th grade, heavily borrowing from the X-Stinction Agena initially, and Predator lol๐
Great advice!

The writing has been slow, but I love the world building and how it's informing character dynamics. Some secrets, challenges to power, and sidelining are in the mix. And of course, unseen horrors!๐

Marital issues, unhealthy parent child dynamics, self doubt, isolation, unrequited love, and that's not including the Music magic, Nanotech, bioengineering or ghosts. The first 3rd of this WIP is a mess!๐ฅด
What's going on in your WIP?

I loved the mojo bag in #Sinners! Someone close to me made a juju bottle for me and a variation of it ended up in a novel, actually playing a key role in the plot. We need more of this!๐๐พ
