Working on the next short story for my upcoming collection, and I think the idea just morphed into a novel. Kinda cool when that happens!

I'm also just noticing how much this sounds like Silent Hill
As an avid horror fiction enjoyer, I love being deeply unsettled by all those heavily photoshopped character portraits, and very much looking forward to be weirded out by Netflix selling us the mid-twen, approaching-30 main cast as high schoolers or something

16 hours into Joe Hill's King Sorrow and HOLY SHIT do I enjoy the ride. 10 years ago his novel The Fireman became an instant favorite and now I'll have to re-read it after, to find out which one I like more

PT 2: Instead of going straight to Christmas horror movies. Spend some time learning from and supporting Native American voices and experiences expressed through horror. Some of these depictions are better than others and we need to learn the difference. #nativeamerican #indigenouspeople

Listen to Fay, for she is very wise
Many new writers come to the world of writing FROM the world of visual images. Be wary. These are vastly different mediums and the rules of engagement are different. What a film uses to seduce you isn't what a book uses to seduce you. Character is key.

Your job as a writer includes being very mean to your favorite characters. You hurt them. This means emotionally, psychologically and especially physically. They are having a bad time and it's all your fault. Lean in. Stop being nice. Your life isn't nice to you.

In a good novel, the writer writes ongoing 'hooks'. They don't rely on the first hook thinking it will have sufficient hook energy to power the whole novel. Instead, as they develop character, they litter the novel with life problems. Your character evolves.
