Nice! I've only done traditional so far, but it's only been short stories. I think I'm going to try traditional for my novel, but if that doesn't work out, I may consider self-publishing.

Traditionally. What about you? Do you self-publish, or do traditional?

It will be part of a collection. The expected release is early October. I'll post more details once I have them!

Thank you so much! It's a horror/paranormal story that takes place on Halloween night. 🎃

After a few months of not having the energy to write, I got an acceptance! 🥳 This win came at a perfect time. Can't wait to share this story! 🎃🪱🧹🪦

Thank you so much!

I love that feeling when you're dreaming up a story and then the perfect image pops into your head that simply... completes it. 😌 Now I just have to write it. No big deal. 😉 ✍️

I got an acceptance! I got an acceptance! 🥳 I can't share any details yet, but I'm super stoked. It's one of my favorite stories that I've written.

Get ready to be terrified. 😱

😯 That's crazy. It hasn't gotten that bad yet in Ohio.

😂 In today's economy, yes.

Yes, it is. A check would be cooler because I would totally frame it.

Yesssss. I love your logic. 🤞

Yeah it is! 🤑

Same!

I received my first royalty payment last week - $1.23. And I will cherish that $1.23 because it means I'm doing it. You have to start somewhere. ✍️ 📚

Me: Writing is so much fun.

Also me: Agonizes over a short story for 3 days.

Fingers crossed 🤞

I like to find open calls on HorrorTree.com. They don't only have horror calls but a lot of fantasy and sci-fi too. You should check it out!

I understand completely. Those rejections can be taxing. I just keep reminding myself to keep pushing forward. A drabble is a 100-word story. They can be challenging to write, but they're fun!

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.

I submitted 3 stories this week, two drabbles and one short story. Even if they all get rejected, I'll still be proud of myself. 🥹

After about a 3-month hiatus from writing (you know, life and stuff), I'm trying to ease back in with an anti-hero short story 🗡️🐲 and possibly a cryptid short story 😱 🐎 before I dive headfirst into my novel. Wish me luck! 🤞

Haha, it's hard sometimes. Loki is a lot bigger than Colt, and he has white spots on his chest and belly. So, that helps. But when one of them is curled up somewhere, I literally have no idea unless the other one is standing right beside me.

Oh my gosh, they are adorable! Definitely could be twins. I love black cats so much. 😻🐈‍⬛

Hello new faces and old!

I'm Shane and I write fantasy fic that pivots around magic, monsters, and messy characters.

I have flash fiction forthcoming from Shacklebound Books and I'm currently working on my debut novel!

Would you please share to help me find like-minded friends?

Hello! 👋 I write adult fantasy and dark fantasy with horror mixed in. I would love to be included. I'm always up for connecting with fellow fantasy writers. 😊

So true! I tend to think in big, novel-length stories, so short stories are challenging but oh so satisfying when you get them just right. 😌
