I didn't even realize I wrote horror until someone pointed out that #CthulhuMythos pulp and horror comedies & #urbanfantasy with vampires were still horror adjacent. #horrorwriting #horrorwritingcommunity #books

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #322: Don’t be afraid of failure. Every artist you’ve ever heard of has tried and failed countless times. Failures show you’re trying new things, taking risks, learning. Failure is a necessary step on the road to success.

Your writing journey is uniquely yours. There's no wrong way to reach 'The End.'

Writers are time travelers, visiting distant lands and eras. We return with ink-stained fingers and anachronistic phrases.

Our minds are haunted houses, filled with the ghosts of unwritten stories and forgotten characters.

The writing process: 10% inspiration, 90% trying to ignore the siren call of Netflix.

10 rules I routinely break now, how I record my vocal musings or thoughts to use them for later, and other thoughts on "writing rules." www.whatisthisfuckery.co/p/the-rules-...

You should consider reading my books if you like: gothic fiction, architectural horror, folk horror, weird families, monsters, capybaras, homunculi, labyrinthine hallways, abandoned amusement parks, bizarre magic, body horror, animatronics, cults.

In the witch's garden of creativity, writer's block is just a stubborn weed. Time to brew a potion of inspiration.

Writers don't procrastinate. We're allowing our ideas to ferment like a fine wine. Or a forgotten cup of coffee.

On a systemic level, America loves punishing people for struggling or suffering. It's a terrible thing.

Any other writers out there have any tips on how to stay focused on one project at a time? 😅 I'm floundering from one to the other >///< and while my brain says it's as easy as "just sit down and work on *project A!" somehow it's just so hard to actually do.... 😅😭

www.eljulian.com/post/feeling... A list on writerly/bookish movies for those of you feeling burnt out, fatigued, or in need of inspiration 🤗 As a chronic fatigue sufferer, I'd be lost without my bookish movies 📚🎬 I hope you enjoy them, too 🥰

"Deep in the labyrinthine stacks of your mind, where forgotten drafts gather dust and unfinished stories whisper their secrets to the void, there exists a peculiar phenomenon that defies mortal comprehension."

Couldn't help but share the doll I made of the main character from by debut novella - Teketeke ☺️ I had so much fun making her, with her magnetic body and glow-in-the-dark eyes 😈 My reward when I finish writing a book is to make a doll of one the the MCs 🥰 What do you do as a reward after writing? 🙂

Any other writers enjoy making mood boards for the WIPs? 🥰
