SPILL INK. NOT BLOOD. (captured at Rockaway Park, Somerset)

I'm at the 'knowing I've planned the story as much as I need, but am too scared to start writing the first draft' stage. I may be here a while.

This Story Hour was a vibe! Thomas Ha and Karlo Yeager Rodríguez read creepy but very poignant stories. Gorgeous, heartbreaking, thought-provoking stories. You can still watch! @thomasha.bsky.social @kjy1066.bsky.social #Booksky youtu.be/vMWyg6vFDs8

Sorry to miss #HorrorWritersChat tonight, but I'm attending something related to the topic. Have fun!

You guys, real-life horror sucks, so I’m going to talk about some horror fiction I’ve read recently. These are all HORROR stories, so all the content warnings imaginable. 🧵 #horrorlit

The two best short stories I read were P. H. Lee’s The V*mpire (I sobbed my face off, holy shit), read it for free on reactormag.com and Laird Barron’s Tiptoe (when I tell you this story sneaks up on you yiiikes. I’m still scared wtf.) Read it for free on electricliterature.com. #horrorlit

I wanted to share this before Women’s History Month is over ✨ give these awesome writers a follow and share to help introduce them to new readers! If you’re a horror author and don’t see your name on the list, reply to this to be added 🫶🏽

Hey, if you've ever thought about maybe trying my stuff but haven't taken the plunge yet, how about some for free? This sampler has an entire novella, three short stories, and half a dozen novel excerpts. For exactly $0! Grab it here: alanbaxter.com.au/my-books/ (scroll past the Reader's Guide).

Had a great evening in Bath yesterday listening to Joe Abercrombie chat with Christopher Buehlman about the latter's historical horror novel, Between Two Fires. Excellent questions from the audience, too.

I commented on this that I had been trying to write this story—well, it’s written. But I really want it to WORK and need some eyes on it. Remember, I am my own arbiter of who’s “cool,” but I do need feedback on a new story… This is a story about language so it nerds out about language. CW: self-harm

Looking forward to reading this bunch of Horror stories 👇

Now, this is good. "There is a quality to certain silences. Not absence of sound—presence of attention. The silence of something listening." from The Hermitage by Ausiàs Tsel

#pretendpanel March 7th: What do you think is your biggest roadblock when it comes to marketing your writing? Confidence in my finished work. I may not feel the same about a story as I did when I wrote it. That lack of confidence produces little oomph for promotion or marketing.

After chatting to a guest at the recent Ghost Story Festival, my writing group has now adopted monthly writing goals. The idea was heartily embraced by all. Never thought I'd need motivation to write. Things change.

Interested in my art or stories? Or, need illustration/looking for pre-mades? Got you covered: www.vampireantihero.com Need book formatting? Got you covered: www.fiverr.com/s/99yq2ae Like my art, want to support, but don't need anything? Thank you! Options here: www.vampireantihero.com/support

March 6th: Marketing your writing. Do you hate it, or do you hate it? (But for real, how do you feel about it?) I prefer shouting about other people's books rather than my own, then I wonder why no one reads mine 🤣 Hey ho.

Nothing of my own to promote today, but I did quite like @erynmccee.bsky.social 's novel FORBIDDEN TEA. Charming, well mannered, but oh so deadly. Justice delivered with biscuits. #horrorwriterschat
