Are you neurodivergent? Have you been belittled, hated, and condescended to for being who you are? I know I can’t be the only one. That’s why I wrote The Monsters Among Us, to flip the mental health narrative on its head and empower others like me. books2read.com/u/m27rzr

After about six weeks straight rain, it’s nice to see the sun rising over The Loft this morning. A few days off of the day job for me, and hopefully some more time to work on draft 3 of the Crooked Path. Have a great day #skywriters!

Q4: #HorrorWritersChat He could hear it halfway down the stairwell: running water striking—a lot. He already knew what he was going to see, but it wasn’t quite how he expected it. Water was leaking from the ceiling of the garage, directly over Wise’s drum kit. (1/2)

Oh god no way I can do a writing prompt today; I wore myself out so much I can't work. Sorry, #HorrorWritersChat. It's a good one, though. If yous can forgive me, here's my link. 😔 I got vampires, werewolves, and, most recently, a ghost story. Lotsa lesbians in these, too. Thanks for a good time! 🖤

Fun and thought-provoking, thank you, Eryn! Even if you’re not picking up from me, consider folks posting local bookstores, indie authors and presses (like me), and their links on Bookshop. You help local business and the fight against fascism! #StandWithMN #HorrorWritersChat

The box has gathered dust for years. Moved with me from house to house unopened. I've told myself that I'll deal with the box of dolls last. There are no more boxes left for me to use as a shield. Dust and clatter I expect. But there are no dolls in the box. Just bones. #HorrorWritersChat

Thanks, Eryn. Had some acceptances this week, but can't shout about them yet, drat. So. Novella. Actually featuring a lot of characters who quite simply cannot talk about or acknowledge their trauma. Even to themselves. #HorrorWritersChat payhip.com/b/58paC

#HorrorWritersChat There was one scene in my last book, Ruins, that I wrote that made me so uncomfortable I ended up deleting and rewriting the ending. It just went too dark so I buried it. The books better for it too. It was just shock for the sake of it.

#HorrorWritersChat Family conflict lies at the heart of most of my work, horror or otherwise. That and a reckoning with sins of the past. I think I’m trying to understand why families act the way they do and the consequences of that.

#HorrorWritersChat Hello! I’m Gary Kruse, I write supernatural thrillers featuring ghosts, bad humans, witches and vampires. I’m drawn to the blend of realism and dark wonder, of the horrors that lurk in the every day!

#HorrorWritersChat Jez in wet and windy Scotland. I write ‘kitchen sink horror’. That’s just how it comes out. I don’t know how to write any other kind of horror. My monsters are entirely human.

The horrors persist, but so do I. New Anti-Social Handbook for the Social Sciences posted, the WIP novel is pulled up for me to forge ahead on, and I have #HorrorWritersChat coming up in a bit. It's going to be a good day in the office.

Is it? Why yes, it is. #HorrorWritersChat

Is today...? Why, yes it is! It's WEDNESDAY! And you know what that means. That chill you're feeling isn't the weather becoming super cold again. It's just a sign that the writers of #HorrorWritersChat are ready to get scary on BlueSky this afternoon!

He dove into the sack again and pulled out a voluminous corked bottle of fermented brown liquid. Though he called it cider, there was an odd pong when he uncorked it that Dorian was fairly certain hadn’t come from apples. #WIPSnips #writesky #writingcommunity #fantasy

Today’s #wipsnips word is “liquid”. Not sure what it says about me or my characters that every “liquid” is referencing alcohol 🤷🏻‍♀️😂🍾🍻 #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writersky #writesky #amwriting
