Is writing a poem easier or harder than writing a short story? I am obsessively editing and re-editing a poem to submit to an open call and I’m finding so many opportunities to second guess myself. I think sometimes having more words to work with makes things easier.

March is the perfect time to celebrate the incredible women shaping horror! Two years ago, my shelves seriously lacked women authors. Now, thanks to the book community, that’s changed.

Also, my very rude dog tried to devour “Out There Screaming.” Fortunately, he just gnawed on the corner of the book so I can still read it. It’s soooo good so far!

Libby is literally the best. I cannot wait to read “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls” by Grady Hendrix. He’s one of my favorite authors!

I live next to a privately owned train track, so it’s always a fun surprise when the train comes. Could come at 8:30 AM on a Thursday, might be 10 AM on a Sunday. Might just be the guy who owns it transporting his jeep up and down the track for some reason.

My ideal reader for my WIP is someone who loves a mix of fantastical and real life horror. And potentially the kind of person who is interested in reading about and dissecting cults.

Let's talk marketing for a bit.
So often we'd love our books to appeal to everyone, but they say it's better to write with a certain audience in mind.
Today on #pretendpanel, I'm asking...
January 23rd: Who do you see as your ideal reader?

Someone who hasn’t spoken to me in 3 years just messaged me to ask “how do you splice a few things together?”
Is this the beginning of a horror movie or does she want to learn photoshop? I am only educated in one of those things. Stay tuned.

There’s something so weird about being a writer. You are confident that your story must be told while fighting imposter syndrome. Also, nothing you write will ever be good enough so you keep doing it, spilling out story after story until one day, you look back and realize that you became an author.

It is 7:22 and dawn just started a few minutes ago. I can’t tell if all of this darkness gets me in the writing mood or if I just want to hibernate.

Hi! I’m JS Douglas and my horror works are a novel called “The Cult of Elle” and a novella called “Terror at Twll Du.”
My favorite horror franchises are The Addams Family and Dracula. Books-wise I’ll read anything by King or Grady Hendrix.
