Spring and fall are usually very productive for me, as the sap runs well then...
I'm on a new novel where someone is trying to get their life back together after kicking their opioid habit, even though reality keeps changing at random and someone's out to kill them...
I wrote a new short story! It takes place in the same world as my other short story 'Unknown is the Night'. Fans of vampires, over the top action and gothic horror should check it out! All feedback is appreciated! #booksky #HorrorWritingChat #horror #writing #vampire

Eh I mostly focus on writing from experiences rather than what I've read elsewhere
that helps
Cliches might pop up I guess kind of like tropes but the big thing is not falling into stereotypes and bigotry
It also helps to read other own voices works
Matt Mason is why I don't read white horror authors, because what the fuck do you MEAN you expect people to PAY YOU for help with visibility, KNOWING that marginalized people get squashed in the algorithm, and often can't afford to EAT, let alone pay the fucking gatekeepers?

this is more a tongue in cheek joke than an honest question:

- Lucille Harker from Kolchak Community College
- Elm and Hadden Hardware
- "I don't know, we just call her the locksmith."
