#HorrorWritersChat

I write book reviews on my website, mainly for indie authors, because I know what it's like to need reviews and for works to be shared and celebrated.

I have written a little sci-fi, but in the horror realm.

Just the practice of putting words together helps!

#HorrorWritersChat was great as usual, Mary. I have been doing this group writing thing for The #ShadowBoxArchives, which is in its end phase and will hopefully soon become public on our Patreon. It's called "Death Collectors". Imagine D&D but for writing prompts. Anyway, if you want to support us⬇️

#HorrorWritersChat Wikipedia.

#HorrorWritersChat

As cool as time travel would be I'd probably end up setting off a cataclysmic chain of events :')

For my WIP I'm doing a ton of research. Learning about common vocabulary, reading about popular alcohol for the time... No detail is too small!

Ummm, research I guess #HorrorWritersChat. The academic in me is hard to kill. I fall easily down the research-rabit-hole (and I love it)

Ooh, I would research. Plus watch movies made during that time - if it's like in the 80s - or reading novels written during that time if it was farther back. I hope they included references that made more sense to them than it does to us because that's a whole vibe.

#HorrorWritersChat Q3

#HorrorWritersChat

Research! Research! Research! I wrote FOG OVER MONS, which is set during the Battle of Mons in France during WWI. My husband is a history buff. He helped me with the time period, military practices, uniforms, etc. I researched the battle as well as the Angels of Mons legend.

Q3: #HorrorWritersChat

I write in the past and I always look up slang and the weather. I like grounding my fiction in a believable, verifiable reality.
A short I’ve been polishing is about a weird meteor shower from ages ago.
If it inspired me to write, I want you to be curious, too.

I have a collection of historical non-fiction, and wherever I can, I look up primary sources. That way you get authentic speech, behaviour, e.g. Henry Mayhew's interviews with Victorian costermongers, or Charles Booth's notebooks & poverty map.
Proper research sets atmosphere.
#HorrorWritersChat

Research, #HorrorWritersChat! Not just wikis of information on the time period but I'll try to find letters and personal accounts from that era, specifically from around where I want someone to be. It helps gauge speech patterns and language, which I feel helps a lot to ground the characters.
