Let’s talk writing playlists! What music (if any) do you listen to while you write? Do you have a go-to genre, or does it change depending on the mood of your story? Share your writing soundtrack with us!

Writing is more than just putting words on a page—it’s about creating worlds, connecting with others, and telling stories that matter.

Your passion can inspire others, so keep writing and stay true to your craft.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Even if today's busy with festivities, take a few minutes for yourself to #write. And don't forget to hug your loved ones and tell them how grateful you are for them!

#HorrorWritersChat question 2:

Describe a time when you used a real setting in a horror work, or a time one of your story settings was based on a real place.

P.S. Don’t forget to include the tag when reposting!

(and that's me out, Louise @moonlitwriting.bsky.social is doing the other two Qs)

SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU OFF THE LEDGE:

"If you ever get the blues about the status of American culture, there are still more public libraries than there are McDonald's. During the worst of the Depression, not one public library closed its doors."

Your stories matter more than ever. Don't let your voice be silenced. It's easy to feel discouraged. But take heart! The key is not giving up.

Whenever you feel stuck, lost, or discouraged, remember this: the world needs your story. #writing #amwriting #resistance #writersky #authorsky
