#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: I think we all know it's AI, come on! Lol.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: I think it depends on the story, but if I'm going retro, steam engines and castles are more likely than VCRs.

New video is up on YT! Taking a little detour from horror writing this week to talk about some horror conspiracies. #horrorsky #horrorcommunity #horrormovies youtu.be/DZO3bjW3h-I?...

New video is out on how to write religious horror. Please feel free to go give it some love 🖤 #horrrorsky #writinghorror #horrorcommunity #religioushorror youtu.be/bA5EiRXXes0

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Generally a tool. Technology becomes a threat when dangerous people use it.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: I write nostalgic horror, and I'd be lost without Google Docs. It lets me edit from anywhere!

@dylanroth.bsky.social FYI, you are apparently the only Dylan R. my brain will acknowledge now. A friend told me she was happy for Dylan Roof's death sentence, and I was briefly horrified by what you did, or how they held the entire trial since the last episode.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Every year, there were fewer crisp, autumn leaves, as summer grew longer. (You didn't say fiction.)

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Honestly, my only dream is to find an audience. And maybe break even on writing, lol.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: A guy I had a grudge against recently passed away, so I took his wife (well...one of them...) and her daughter into my home. But, then the wife antagonized my neighbors, and I had to deal with that situation. So, I set her on fire. AITA?

#HorrorWritersChat Question One: Progressive nerd who writes nostalgic horror. I'm working on a sequel to a movie that I don't have the rights to, that has almost nothing to do with the movie it's a sequel to.

Honestly, I think we live in an age of such knee-jerk reactions that every work will eventually be reappraised, some as underrated some as overrated. ...also, I have no idea why anyone thinks Halloween 5 is worse than Halloween 6. Not really relevant, but throwing it out there, lol.

With tariffs, Trump says the US holds all the cards. But he doesn't know the difference between gallium and germanium. He couldn't name a single rare earth mineral. Carney loves playing cards with a moron who doesn't know the difference between an ace and a deuce and thinks a joker is a jack.

My new deep dive is out! If you’d like, please feel free to go give it some love 🖤 #horrorcommunity #horrorsky #horrorwriting #writingadvice youtu.be/Mm2xZwj6aVI?...

...God help us all...

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Okay, I'm not collaborating with any version of HP Lovecraft who hasn't apologized for...basically every mention of a non-white person he ever wrote.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: It goes forward only. I don't want to create even the possibility that the bad things that have already happened can be undone.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: I don't mind a nice little anachronism stew, but sometime between the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th if I need to be accurate to a period. Enough technology to be relatable, but still not too much to be quaint.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: I'm from the American South. I'm not sure my doppelganger, and I hate to put myself in the same category as better known writers, but I'd say my style has some similarities to King or Lovecraft.

#horrorwriting Anyone else ever feel like writing your climax is a slog?

Benjamin Franklin: "We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." American Universities: "Let's hang separately" American Law Firms: "Let's hang separately" And so it goes.

I know my story's ending, and I'm writing it a little at a time, but in this first-draft form it just rings so hollow...

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Instead of suggesting one book, I'm going to recommend everyone subscribe to Davis Morgan. His discussions of horror literature have greatly expanded my to-read list.

#HorrorWritersChat In my case I tend towards minimalism in my first draft, so I usually have to expand, not delete. That said, I do think its better to eliminate superfluous fluff the reader may not care about. Now, fan service...

#HorrorWritersChat "Originality is like cinnamon. It's great for flavor, but too much, and you'll choke!" I can't count how many stories I started that turned into a complete mess because I set out to do the opposite of what most writers would do. Conventions exist for a reason!

#HorrorWritersChat I'm a progressive nerd writing nostalgic horror. And the pitch would be "One of Dracula's wives and their daughter have to flee Transylvania after his death. Bad things ensue."

#WritingCommunity Trying to write an appropriate ending to my first book, I may owe Martin and King an apology.

#WritingCommunity Ya know, the scariest thing about that story you have to tell is realizing you have no choice but to put it out when it's finished. You won't be able to make yourself hide it in a drawer. If it's bad and you get roasted, that's what's going to happen.

#WritingCommunity If the backstory of your work involves alternate history, do you think you should include a disclaimer? I'm simultaneously afraid people will think the history I'm describing is accurate and that people will think I extended the reign of a monarch by decades accidentally.

I like presidents who know Slavery is bad, not "WOKE."

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Me. Freaking out because of acrophobia.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 3: I've user mirrors before, but I think windows can be a lot scarier. We know that a mirror is just a reflection of light. We also know there are horrible things outside our windows.

#HorrorWritersChat Question: Oddly, this is actually something I've realized I need to add more of in revisions. But, it would be the vampire's coffin room.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: I'm from the American South, and I write what I like to call "Nostalgic Horror." It sometimes feels like no one respects old-school scares anymore.

Any horror writers who haven't subscribed to @horrorscriptorium.bsky.social should do so at once! #WritingCommunity #HorrorWriting

Maryland state police should be ARRESTING ICE agents who do this. Impound the vehicles. Force the Trump admin to litigate. @raskin.house.gov lives here and should stand up and say this now. Along with @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov.

I seriously want to know how people think swallowing dozens of supplements and eating fried food cooked with beef tallow will do more for their health than eating their veggies. It's like "men will literally do x instead of go to therapy," but for food.

#WritingCommunity I just checked and, as of next Wednesday, I will have been working on my book for a year.

Trump Calmly Reminds Nation That Desire The Root Of All Suffering theonion.com/trump-c...

#WritingCommunity Has anyone tried serializing their work on platforms like Galatea? What was your experience like?

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: We stayed up to watch the Perseids. It was a nice after show. Humanity had a good run.

Question 3: Reports Say Conflict Growing in Dracula Family. Countess Flees Transylvania. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Either a gun to my head, or the current President telling his followers to read my work.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Progressive nerd writing nostalgic horror. And I once wrote a creepypasta based around my study sessions in college.

#HorrorWriting 75k words! I think I'll be at or close to my ending around the time I hit 100k!

SPLENDID PARODY OF THE PEDO-IN-CHIEF'S MORONICALLY DERANGED STYLE OF POSTING, DESPITE THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY OF REFERRING TO HIM AS DONALD CHUMP, GOVERNOR NEWSCUM. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Imagine that.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”
