Wednesdays we write. And analog girl summer requires that I write by hand a couple times a week and holy moly I cannot believe I drafted all my plays like this. Oof.

I’m reading Japanese Gothic at night and Whistler by day and to be in the fine company of these excellent writers makes for a dreamy analog summer.

Sorry I missed all the kerfluffle. Had to send several missives after a walk in the glen, and then visit the cobbler to fix my boot heel. Now, what’s all this about not allowing kids to see words they don’t know?

The first of our virtual reading series for the #LocusAwards will be the wonderful #HildurKnútsdóttir & #EdenRoyce on WEDS May 27 at 4PM. Tickets at locusmag.com/awards26#LocusAwards#HildurKnútsdóttir#EdenRoyce in bio!

The Only Good Indians is a masterpiece; and The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is as well. Can’t go wrong with a Stephen Graham Jones story. I assume someday the film world will catch up. The audio books of both are also excellent by the way, whichever way you like to read. Q4 #horrorwriterschat

Fairly impossible, given that I don’t know how it ended. Or what it was. But interesting to think about . Q3 #horrorwriterschat

Interesting. I definitely don’t fill in all the blanks which seems related in retrospect. Q2 #horrorwriterschat

I’m Kimberly Davis Basso, I write horror fiction and humor non-fiction. I don’t know the name of the movie- but as a kid in the 70s my mom let me watch 2/3 of a horror flick and sent me to bed before the resolution. So as far as I know, that slimy monster is still out there. Q1 #horrorwriterschat

“Find it easy, do you, to present folks with facts and have them thoughtfully respond?”

May I just say that reports of my garden being possessed are wildly inaccurate? In unrelated news, which is your favorite demon carrot?

For my current WIP it goes back and forth between static and the sounds of roots pushing through soil. Q3 #horrorwriterschat

The strangest origin story became the story- I included a non fiction piece called When Horses Cry which is about an encounter I had on a ghost tour in Savannah GA in my first collection. #horrorwriterschat Q2

I’m Kimberly Davis Basso, I write short stories that sneak up on you & slit your throat. Writing advice… When I am well and truly stuck I tell myself I’m not *allowed* to write and I’m such an over the top “nobody is the boss of me” type person that it works. Yes it’s sad. #horrorwriterschat Q1

Miami Dade friends! WATCH DUTY APP is best for up to the minute notifications on wildfires if you are anyone you care about is in the area- they post evacuations; wind direction, engine and air updates. #wildfires

I’ve written a mix of spaces, top floor of a corporate monolith, under a kid’s bed. Visually I enjoy crumbling ruins, structures surrounded by nature. Q3 #horrorwriterschat

My favorite secrets are definitely from the past, the ones that linger, that live in the space. I am writing a haunted house collection yes, it will be Door Volume III. Q2 #horrorwriterschat

Late but with good reason, write my brains out this morn. I’m Kimberly, I write horror & humor and I like hallways, stairwells, stuff that isn’t necessary abandoned but can be. And houses, places people loved. Q1 #horrorwriterschat

2500 words I am getting into a grooooove. And I am a nerrrrrrrd.

True.

Today is a good day to write.

Do you have a secret project? I’ve been crafting a little something just for the joy of it. Started years ago, lots of bits and pieces to it including a short story. Well, tonight I finished the story part of it. I’ll polish it again in a week when I have some distance but damn that feels good. 🎃🖤

Being part of the fiction jury for the Pulitzer Prize means you read A LOT of books. Inevitably, there’s more excellent work than you can count. Since the prize has been announced, I’m recommending five other books that I read and loved during the process. Read ‘em all!

Let’s go word nerds. #booksky

In addition to writing horror, I am a 2x award winner for INDIE Book of the year in Humor, and I am a playwright. Currently working on non-fic book #3 and horror collection #3. Q2 #horrorwriterschat

Hello! I am Kimberly Davis Basso, I write horror that sneaks up on you. I am reading some non-fic this week and maybe some sci-fi as I’m still agog over Artemis II. #horrorwriterschat Q1

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Candace Nola is incredible and the first to lend a helping hand when people need it. Now she needs us. Please give if you can, and please share far and wide.

Wednesdays we write. Today I’m polishing a short story and a poem for my next horror collection, and then I’m gonna crack my knuckles and edit a non fic chapter.
