Are people who are afraid of clowns, afraid of mimes, too? Are they less scary because you can trap them in boxes?

My favorite thing about writing is when someone sends me a message to tell me the book resonated with them in some way or that they enjoyed it. I still feel awkward about how to answer. How do you thank someone for validating your entire existence as a writer?

Repost with how people know if you suddenly became rich.

A sudden and abundant influx of rescue dogs. I would adopt as many of them as I could get away with. Also, many more bookshelves.

Justin Long rocking out to 90s music in a big ol' haunted house is a genre of TV I didn't know I needed until Goosebumps.

Saturday I attended the Scary Stories Book Fest in Asbury Park. The highlight for me was meeting readers, but also overcoming my nerves and doing a reading from They Are Cursed Like You. I was shaking all over, @claymcleod.bsky.social is a hard act to follow, but I did the thing!

So far this year I:

What about you? What are you proud of accomplishing in 2023?

You should share your approach with new writers! Otherwise we miss out on different story/prose types. There is a writer out there who thinks they are doing it wrong and needs to hear your method to know they aren't.
