Ok it's actually crazy fun that today's prompt lines up with the opening paragraph of Treetop Hollow. It just feels nice. #writesky #wipsnips #writinghorror #indieauthors
A backdrop of an aged cabin in the woods, with the following text above: "The photo had obviously been taken decades before. The charming hunting cabin, wearing a thick layer of fresh white paint in the picture, was long gone. A looming specter of moss and time had consumed the little building, leaving a cabin-shaped husk behind. Not that she was surprised the picture was outdated. The listing featured nothing but a single, crooked scan of a Polaroid, and a suspiciously attractive price."

Been waking at silly o'clock since getting out of hospital - no idea why, maybe just loving life & don't want to waste time sleeping - as a consequence, I'm flaking out pretty early in the day but am seeing some damn fine dawn #sky : )

Guys! I just ordered my first print proof copy from Ingram for my first indie release! Assuming I'm happy with how it looks, this baby will be up for sale in October--only five years later than I intended. LOL. #writing #writinghorror

Out and about for the first time in a long time after some major health issues - meal at a nearby spot - one of the inspirations for Cinderlake that appears in my books Congeal & The Bledbrooke Works …beautiful but there's an indefinably dark feel to it

From “The Kennel.” This short story dissects the violence of prey animals vs the violence of victims a bit, cornered creatures, why horses are not at fault for biting back but the oppressed are, etc. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writing #Horror #WritingHorror #HorrorWriters
I remind myself then not of the hunter I am, but of the prey I feel I have become. I am the buffalo trapped against a cliff face, the rat in the serpent’s jaws, the doe whose hooves have killed more than I ever will. This is not hunting.

Is There Money in Horror Fiction?
The second-most common question a horror author gets after, “Where do you get your ideas?” is, “Can you make any money doing this?”

Cracked 41k, and the new WIP officially assumes novelhood. A queer, near-future, dystopian tale of war and blood magic. Will it end up in the trunk with the corpses all the other "novels" that I enjoyed writing, but never released? Only The Shadow knows. #writinghorror
