For any newer horror writers, I started reading β€œSave The Cat! Writes Horror” this afternoon and really enjoying it.

This is an absolutely wonderful horror story by @joncarrollthomas.bsky.social reach out because he only has a few copies left in his second printing.

I finished @limealicious.bsky.social 's Blood Standard last night, and it was a great novel! To mix it up, I'm trying to read a romance novel now. We shall see how far I get.

Trump is such a small man.

I wrote a short story, "No Tongue Please," for the Gotham short story class I'm in right now, and although I enjoyed writing it, I'm not thinking it will land with most folk. That's okay. Someday, I'll get it and write something amazing. Now, I'm just working on my million garbage words.

Taking Short Story II from Gotham led by Tom Cooper. Some wonderful writing. And then there’s mine. But I’m hoping some of the talent rubs off on me.

I find reading one book at a time problematic. I’m a slow reader so in order to get exposure to all the authors I’m interested in I can’t just read one book to completion before starting another.

Yes.

Chapter 10 of Blood Standard was so great.

Um...I don't believe in heaven, but after years in church and reading about such things, I agree, Trump is not "heaven-bound."

I've been spending more time beating out some story ideas than actually writing them. After getting some advice on outlining and picking up K.M. Weiland's latest book on "Structuring Your Novel," I'm trying out her suggestions on smaller stories to see how it feels.

Sounds like I'm late to the game and need to get on "Tiptoe" real fast or lose any hope at being a fan of contemporary dark fiction.

Same, although I might punch up into blue.

I'm finally reading this one now. Not my favorite, but I'm enjoying it. My favorite is probably "Old Man's War," and the first few chapters of "Kaiju Preservation Society" had me in stitches.

It doesn't matter how bad I am at it; I'm going to keep writing and torturing anyone who will read my garbage.

I just found @lairdbarron.bsky.social and read "Old Virginia." It feels like a Die Hard moment. "Now I have a machine gun. Ho, Ho, Ho."
