On a whim I decided to replay Ocarina of Time a few weeks back.

First time in nearly thirty years in fact.

Still find this whole ending moving.

Even more so.

The notion of lost time messed me up a bit.

Especially since we'll be losing a shit load more soon.

Making my friend's laugh, I guess

I mean the books are good when they are written, but the writing part is a pain in't arse

I wrote an ex a poem once, and she liked it enough that I put it in one of the books

Does keeping it in the book count as rebellion?

Hope not, it's nice

Now to The Horrors.

In his blog post
CREATING PERSONAL MEANING IN A DARK WORLD IS HOW WE TAKE A STAND,
Matt said “finding joy in being a creative person is an act of rebellion.”

Share a creative outlet that brings you joy and/or feels like an act of rebellion.

I'll give ye both

1) A very vivid dream of being trapped in a dark, ITV like studio from the 90's filled with mollusc people covered in fungus
&
2) People not only read my books, but music gets created for them to act as a companion soundscape piece

Video games would be nice 🤔

This one is going to be hard.

One of the last things Matt asked us at Horror Writers Chat was to share a horror writing related dream.

This can be;
> an actual dream that inspired you.
> a dream you have for your writing career.

Interpret this any way you’d like.

Earnestness

Don't matter where you from or how high ye get on yer own supply, when it comes to horror, the human condition bares it's ass

Good and bad

Put us all on equal playing field

And if done properly, it's a pathway to empathy

Plus thrills and gore!

Mainly empathy tho

I hope you'll join us for #HorrorWritersChat today. It will be a sad but most meaningful one this week.
This Wednesday, we’re honouring the creator of Horror Writers Chat, Matt aka MG Mason @chaoticauthor.online, who sadly passed away last week 🕯️

I’ll be asking questions Matt would ask and you’ll have an opportunity to share your happy memories of Matt and #HorrorWritersChat

See you then 🖤

Thanks Gree! #HorrorWritersChat, do you need some Christmas horror in your life? Then you'll love "The Wild Hunt," about two sisters who run away from home on Christmas Eve.

Thanks Gree!

In the spirit of this #HorrorWritersChat, I'm going to share What Saints Fear, because Unholy of Holies is a horror/fantasy story about an industrial-scale relic factory farm (CW for torture).
What Saints Fear

3 tales of dark monastic fantasy in which the faith of the Keepers of Khriam is tested by:

- occultist clerics addicted to demons
- saints claiming need of rescue
- factory-farmed relics

#HorrorWritersChat I'm grappling with this right now in a work in process; about monstrosity.

Because I write about ghosts, body isn't the sole concern. In my fiction, the presence of ghosts is a reassurance and a help to the living. The real horror for me, always, is about loss of will & agency.

Blades inching closer, pierce my head
Bring the promise of eternal death,
Shatter and carve the skull-bound brain
Defile the mind, feed only pain
Neural pathways fuse as one.
I lose myself and I am done
Nothing left but an empty shell
The proof that here, we have made our Hell.

Thanks for another awesome chat! I'm excited to share my library guide! Here are the libraries I know of that carry LWF in print. (Since the ebook is in hoopla, there are too many libraries with the ebook for me to make a digital list.)
