I love horror and the genre very much and to me, the biggest way I wanna show respect is properly pacing the story. The story isn’t slow, it’s patient.

SUNDAY UPDATE:

As it stands today, my new Supernatural thriller is currently at 17 chapters in the outline phase. I’m not aiming to make a long book for the sake of making a long book.

The cost to become a great author is by starting off as a terrible writer.

While I didn’t make much progress in adding more chapters to my novel, I did make ground on the lore and research in the world of my story.

Yes, I have a contemporary fantasy in the beacon on my page. It’s about a small witch who gain an apprenticeship with gunslinging monster hunter

My go-to is soft/epic fantasy and soft Sci-Fi.

I’m trying. This is a genre I love and I want to do it justice

Not gonna lie, as I’m outlining this horror novel, I’m beyond nervous about the outcome. I love horror and I’ve been dying to write one but I’m so anxious.

Something that I plan on focusing on for these two new projects is time management when it comes to making a dedicated writing schedule and breaking up my chapters into more smaller, digestible sections.

The Face of the Story you can call it the rise of anti-intellectualism, the momentary hot topic on TikTok or a conversation that has been around longer than the cell phones in our hand.

I think the stories that stick with us after the final page are the best kind.

I agree. I think if a deeper meaning serves the story then it should be included.

Authors, do you ever worry about coming across as pretentious when wanting put a “deeper meaning” in your W.I.P.?

My focus this weekend is outlining all my characters for the horror novel. Not the coolest update but I’m dedicated to keep you guys involved.
I’m using the Campfire app/desktop to put it together.
