I’m Spencer, a chronically shy dude who writes horror and scifi WIPs that get abandoned at roughly the half way point, and something I’m proud of in the last week is that I actually hit send on a short story submission. #HorrorWritersChat

Introduce yourself: Tell us who you are, what you write, and something that happened in the last week that made you proud

Fighting the sudden urge to abandon my WIP and write a Silent-Hill-but-on-The-Moon fanfic.

“As is often true in stories such as this one, the destruction of Laird’s Crossing began with a simple act of kindness.”

If I ever finish this book, that’ll be the first line.
"It cost me every penny in my pocket to get half an hour alone with Haverstock before he was hanged, but if I had known then what I know now, I would have paid ten times as much."

I do like to start my novels with a banger first line. INTO THE CAVES OF HELL WE GO, FRIENDS.

Hey. Spencer. Stop pissing about and write your bloody book.

I’ll never understand these tech bros and AI aficionados with their ChatGPTs and Copilots and Google Homes.

It’s like they never even watched Donald Cammell’s 1977 classic ‘Demon Seed’.

Well, as far as rejections go, it was a nice one 😅

Oh yes. Yes it is.
It's here and it's gorgeous.

Coming this August...

Writing anything at all would, of course, require me to stop playing Blue Prince for five goddamn minutes and so that shall be the first hurdle.
I think I wish to write a novella.

Yes. A novella is in order.

A side project, perhaps.

Oh dang! Love @jfdt.bsky.social work. I can only presume that @arayaart.bsky.social cover art also represents what the reader will be feeling and looking like as they tear through these wild rides! 🤣🤣🤣
BEHOLD @arayaart.bsky.social's stunning cover art for @jfdt.bsky.social's ALL THE STARS DIE, a collection of cosmic-horror novellas. Coming later this year.

The cover art interprets a scene in the novella, "Her Mouth is Filled with Secret Soup."

It’s taken me almost as long to go from 40,000 words to 50,000 words as it did to reach 40,000 in the first place, but I’m there.
