I'M BACK, FRIENDS. I'm approaching this at a different angle, now. I'm primarily posting free shorts on Tumblr while offering novels, when I finish them, for cheap (paperback) and free (eBook). A more in-depth post about what I'm gonna be doing from now on:

I am no longer writing. I've lowered my prices on my Lulu store, and the novels I have will always be available, but I sadly do not have an audience and can't afford to continue doing this. It's been rad, y'all. If you want a silly book, they're here: www.lulu.com/search?contr...

Evening friends! The cool news: next month I will be at #AuthorConVI with some good pals of mine to mingle, chill, and hopefully sell some books! The not so cool news: It'll probably be my last convention. I'm on the SAVE plan for my student loans, and any day now, I won't be. 🧵

#HorrorWritersChat In my last work, the antagonist was an extremely fucked up deer lol. I generally didn't lean to the supernatural when developing horror stories unless it was like, a backstory. I love me some body horror

#HorrorWritersChat It's hard to say! I can't tickle myself, so to speak, lol. I'd mostly write whatever I thought would be cool or exceptionally awful 🤣

#HorrorWritersChat I likes subverting safety and comfort. A lot of my stories, published and otherwise, take place in settings where the characters are not inherently uneasy to begin with!

#HorrorWritersChat Bit late due to work. Heyo all. I'm Michelle and I stuck to horror comedy, mostly. My latest work was inspired by creature features like Tremors and Slither!

Fuckin dying

GOT MY LONG HORSE AND HE'S AMAZING

#HorrorWritersChat Scars, muscle, lasting injuries. Kyle in particular winds up covered in them throughout my notes, lol

#HorrorWritersChat Depends on the story. Some characters have to give up an impossible desire, or a self destructive stubborn goal, etc etc. Usually they're giving up something that hurts them, but they have a hard time letting go of.

#HorrorWritersChat They tend to be better for what they went through. Even if it takes a while.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Michelle, I write comedy horror/body horror/etc, and I think I'd be hard pressed to give up my creativity.

If you see this, post a random fact about yourself: I am a blood relative of comedian Bobcat Goldthwait. I've always wanted to meet him and ask him about my dad's side of the family. Considering Bobcat wrote and directed a horror movie recently, I think I know where I get it from 🤣

#HorrorWritersChat "What do you mean, I can't bring it?" "You won't need it here," the Ferryman gravels. "It is useless in this realm." "But I've had it all my life." They clutch it to their chest. The writhing, black thing squeals softly. "I know," the Ferryman pities. "I know."

#HorrorWritersChat Hmm. I'd probably be owing something that required my eternal labor rather than a material offering, lol

#HorrorWritersChat The future. But it'd be current me telling younger me to not be stupid lmao

#HorrorWritersChat Hey pals! Michelle here, writer of weird nonsense with body horror, comedy, and misadventures. I think I'd probably wind up haunting my job. And I'd be real mad about it. Can't relax even in death

This will forever be my favorite Discord moment with @martinshannon.bsky.social 🤣🤣

This dude is awesome, give him a follow!

Please enjoy my favorite Christmas video

IT IS CHRISTMAS MY DUDES

#HorrorWritersChat (Stick with me here) Last Christmas, I gave you my heart The very next day, you gave it away This year, to save me from tears, I'm keeping you in my basement

#HorrorWritersChat Funny you mention it, because the sequel to Worst Summer is, in fact, The Worst Christmas of My Life lol. I set the tone with the usual bitter cold, decorations, and busier shopping season. Popr Sandra's back in retail so the mood is kind of anti-festive 🤣

#HorrorWritersChat My favorite protagonist is Sandra, a burnt out service industry employee who would really like it if dimensional rifts would stop ruining her day. I think she'd be pretty jazzed if I gave her a free gym membership for life. Gotta keep up that physical therapy!

#HorrorWritersChat Howdy all! Michelle here, writer of body horror, comedy horror, and creature features. I actually am not big on the holidays 😅. Retail ruined it for me. Best I can do is a movie rec! Violent Night is such a fun time. Highly recommend.

I live for this aesthetic

Pls

While I generally try to keep this account Light and Silly, this is important. The cut 60 minutes video continues to get taken down across platforms. Download it. Don't let it die. archive.org/details/60mi...

Share an actor who nailed a role so hard that nobody else will ever be able to live up to it. There will only ever be one Burt Gummer.

What the fuck :( My heart goes out to him, his friends, and family. Whenever he showed up in something, he stole the show.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

A gif from the last show I watched: Channel Zero is a trip. Mad I slept on it THIS LONG

@janedunnauthor.bsky.social Sorry to bug you, but I thought you'd want to know that a bot has cloned your account and is messaging small authors under "janedunnbooks" with a marketing scheme. I've already blocked and reported them!

I am attacked

Always in awe of pixel art, and doubly so when it's so beautifully animated

These are awesome

#HorrorWritersChat My biggest sin was falling short too often. The manifestation of my failures tries to catch me, punish me, but since the entity is just pure concentrated shortcomings, she'll never get me. "Never getting anywhere sucks." She sits next to me, defeated. "Tell me about it," I say.

#HorrorWritersChat One of my characters, Kyle Hartshorn, has to go through almost literal hell before he A: Gets his head out of his ass and B: Grows to learn how to forgive himself, and make amends. Honestly the book wouldn't have happened if he just went to therapy. 🤣

#HorrorWritersChat In my characters, their behaviors change based on how deeply they regret things. It can manifest in their environment, too; maybe they keep sentimental things, missing better days. Maybe they don't take care of their room at all. Depends on who, and why.

#HorrorWritersChat Hello again fellow weirdos! I write creature features, comedy horror, and horror in general. Regret and redemption tend to show up a lot in my works. Regret, because I have a lot of my own lmao, and redemption, because I like to believe people can get better.

The new Berried Alive album goes hard. Don't sleep on this band, y'all.

I got no words for this. Funny thing is if Trump never existed, and I made a villain in one of my books JUST LIKE HIM, it'd get lampooned as being too unrealistic, cartoonishly evil, etc etc. Yet here he is, making a double homicide alllllll about him.

This is fuckin cool. Definitely unmute

Lmao
