Manifesting Fear

I find that as a horror writer / creator you must be unafraid to take your reader to that dark place they don't want to look into.

This skill requires an almost abduction like quality...you have to make your reader choose to see that place. You have to seduce them, trick them, or even blitz them into that spot. Convince them they want to see whats behind the locked door. Make them think they would LOVE to dive into the muck.

I like to leave my readers with a feeling of unease, something that may creep up again at two in the morning as you navigate the pitch black house OR cross a parking lot, in a less savory area - alone - returning to your car.

I don't want you to feel safe, I want you to embrace the horror all around, festering in the real world. I strive for writing that captures that reaction and pushes it to the forefront. my Monsters don't want to be ignored, they want to play.

I like to create a sense of normalcy...maybe take a group or structure we thinks keeps us safe. Break that bad boy open and show you the maggots and puss right under the surface.

When I start creating characters and put words to paper I never let these motivations get too far out of focus.

On that, the writing has been moving freely the last two days. My collaboration with Christopher Gibbs is developing into something that just may shatter my own expectations. Each day I see CUTTER stretch and grown. The story, the characters are rising out of the miasma to become solid and textured.

The next few days will be for review and deep thinking on how I should progress on each of the pieces and projects I've got my hands in.

Back From The Dead

 Life has been interceding, interrupting and bleeding its puss all over my writing.

 Found an editor, came up with more than a few new ideas for projects......Still looking for an artist and as always working on Keepers.

The novel keeps evolving causing me to have to re write and mold the events to fit my characters whispers.

I hope I've beaten the horse called life to death and shall presently be eating burgers made from its persistent flesh.

More updates as I progress.

The Author as a Crossroads Demon

There is only one place left in present day where you may have access to all your wants and desires, with only minimum price. You have the ability to become anything or anything, have whatever possession you so desire. This place and those that offer you this escape are authors and the varied and extensive worlds they create.
What is that you wish to be? Are you searching to be a hero, a villain, or perhaps the person to be rescued? Do you desire ultimate power or riches beyond imagination? These and so much more are available to you if you are intelligent enough to choose wisely.
Anyone with the ability to read may step into the skin of characters lovingly created and face quests or conflict. Hiding inside these borrowed avatars you may live and love, conquer and destroy as the scribe dictates.
All cultures have tales and warnings of beings that will grant your greatest wish, all end with a warning against greed or covetous behavior. There is no need for warnings when placed under the spell of your favorite author. They have paid your price already in the sacrifice of time, sweat, creative effort and sometimes insanity. Authors give to you freely their creations to use as you will.
Think of us as the modern day answer to the crossroads demon. You come to us with your wants and if we as creators are strong enough, we deliver your desires.
Welcome to our parlors, welcome to our worlds, yes friends welcome to the inside of another human beings mind. If what we create touches you, if you enjoy the experience, please feel free to return.
