A-Z Challenge: H Day!



Every. Single. Day. I scan my brain, trying to come up with writing words for the next day's blog post. Every day I fail. Today is H. I couldn't think of one. And my friends? They came up with TONS. TONS of H words that should have been so obvious to me and weren't.

I'm concerned.

Hero, heroine, Hero's journey, horror, humor. Yeah, I couldn't think of any of those.

I'm choosing horror because I'm just starting a horror story and I'm massively overwhelmed. But I have a fabulous friend, Mercedes, who writes horror and she wrote a whole guest post on it. Check it out here :)

She says it better than I ever could. And now, I am embarking on my horror journey and praying I don't give myself horrible nightmares every night!

    haha! HORROR. I. LOVE. HORROR! I figure if it's any good - it WILL give me nightmares. I'm finishing up a pretty scary manuscript right now. It's been a blast to write. Good luck with your horror. :) And thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday. I'm now a new follower of your blog. Nice to meet you.

    I've always wanted to write a (mild) horror story, but I'm always afraid that I'll scare myself.

      Yes exactly! Mine isn't even the, like, real horror, it's very mild, and I'm already giving myself nightmares.

    The thought of writing horror horrifies me. I'm such a sissy, but I'm amazed at those who manage it.

    I write a lot of horror stories myself, mostly bizarro stuff, no gore. And Mercedes is a facebook friend! Small world, eh?

    I want to get into writing horror stories sometime, but haven't had any ideas as of yet. Someday...

    I started writing my letters in February (on one of my A to Z blogs) so I could write as inspired - less stress.

    ck out Pen of The Damned for excellent horror. These folks top the charts - several well read (published) authors. I am still dabbling in the sandbox of horror...

    today's inspiration

    Nice to meet you btw. Best with the writing
