Writers, don't forget to REST. I keep forgetting how important it is. Spend the weekend just looking at stuff, napping, eating. You'll come back to your desk so refreshed, so excited to put words together again. #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

We're working on a sample issue, which will be published shortly. In the meantime, we've a new website, and looking forward to sharing lots of new content with everyone, including reviews and ghost hunts! Woo!

Some days I have zero story ideas and some days they attack me nonstop while I’m trying to cook some noodles.

(Maybe I should make noodles more often?)

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Me: *deeply stressed about the writing completion I’m doing*

Also me: *enters three more*

Why am I like this

I tend to stick close to the dark side of fiction, but I use that to write everything from horror to romance.

Good morning, creatives! I'm currently writing a paranormal series. I've written time travels, fantasies, contemporaries, so I figured, why not paranormals? I'm a genre jumper. Do you stick with one, or do you hop around?

A photo of a black cat laying on a grey pillow. The cat’s eyes are scrunched shut as she yawns wide, showing off her sharp teeth and pink tongue.

Yawning or metal screaming? The world may never know.

Thank you to Horror Press for having me this Pride Month! 🖤 🤍 💜

Glen and Glenda: Don Mancini’s Reverence for Queerness in ‘Seed of Chucky’ (2004) Being terrified of Chucky’s stitched face as a kid resulted in the masochistic choice to rent Seed of Chucky from Blockbuster back in 2005. Watching it for the first time as a closeted 10 year old, I ...

Is there another horror director that gets it like Don Mancini? We think not. #Horrorsky

Finding Radical Queer Pride in ‘Tetsuo: The Iron Man’ (1989) What if I told you Tetsuo: The Iron Man is one of the most evocative examples of “queer awakening” ever put on screen? Okay, that’s a tad hyperbolic, and such queer assertions about beloved media are ...

Is Tetsuo: The Iron Man one of the greatest representations of queer awakening? @horrorpress.bsky.social let me make the case for Pride Month! Join me in appreciating this oddball cult horror classic that holds cathartic potential for anyone who has contended with expectations of others.

Write for Horror Press, y'all. And go reread my Tetsuo: The Iron Man article from last Pride while you are at it. (Pinned on my profile!)

Tomorrow is the deadline to get your pitches in! Don’t miss out!

As with all things, it depends on the story I'm telling.

Sometimes I like to jump right in. Other times I like to take my time in setting it up. Both are valid approaches, as long as it serves the story.
