This week on The Writer’s Chair, I’m joined by C.M. Forest!
We dig into:
• Why atmosphere beats gore (and how to actually create it)
• The moment a pen name changed everything
• Why isolation, loneliness, and existential dread keep showing up in his work
and more!

🤣 100%. I'm right there with you bud. I'd rather learn the process that skip it. Got 11 years of author-ing behind me to show for it. Glad to hear you feel the same!
Appreciate it! It basically means that I'll occasionally use Chat or Claude to help me research and ideate for the business. I want to be as transparent as possible. The cover is my own work, manipulating photos and adding fonts/colours (hence why it's pretty simple in design/layout).
That'll be my handiwork 🙌🤘
