Erin Al-Mehairi, Editor & Author

Tonight, I went out to change space and work at Panera. I did some editing, and organizing formatting and editing and writing for stuff coming up on my website. And I tried their new sunset caffeine refresher which was SO good!

🌞🌞🌞

So excited to see my very first flowers of the season pop up on our first most beautiful day of spring! Gorgeous crocous. I know we will have cold, rain, snow again this month but for now, I’m happy! And I had a walk by the river in the sun. 🌞

Correction: women creatives!! :)

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY! I will have full content about,on, & from women’s creatives starting on my website this week! 🫶🏼

Today, I have been spending the day with both my daughters, & tonight, taking the youngest back to college. 💛

Last night I spent my last full evening with my daughter while she’s been on spring break! We tried a brand new Asian cafe & bakery that opened in Cleveland area & had drinks & split desserts. We’re such foodies! We did a little thrifting & ate dinner, too, but the time together was priceless. 🥰

This week, #HorrorWritersChat, I want to highlight a Kickstarter I’m doing for a bank robbery horror anthology! If we meet our funding goal, there will be some spots open for submissions as well! Appreciate any shares and support!

Wednesday evening, went with my daughter to one of our fave places, the Cleveland Museum of Art. We’re blessed to have this museum in The Land. As far as new exhibits, saw a Native American prints & drawings, flowers & birds in Chinese art, art on silks historical exhibit, a restoration, & more. 😍

I love sirens!

I love that haha

Yes Hahaha!! Insidious!

So hiiiiii, I am Eryn, I'm one of the co-hosts for #HorrorWritersChat, I write supernatural and psychological horror, and for me, it's always fucking forests.

That would be freaky if mobilized!

Ah, sweet, scary creature. The tiny beetle hung around dancing to Harry Styles and decapitating the tiny mites he caught for his dinner. His wife stared at him wondering why he didn’t eat his veggies and if she’d need to behead him as well. 🥗😂

I’m in a mood haha

#horrorwriterschat

Gosh, I won’t pick spiders because not animals. Or any insects. But I fear those the worst. So beyond that I’d say, those large eels, or leeches, or pirahnas!!!!

#horrorwriterschat

Thanks for doing this today! 💛

Yes! I’m an absolute fan of water horror and water creature stories and basically anything water haha 🌊

Hahaha

Love that!

I don’t know if I think ONE animal works best because all stories are unique and many animals can be used in many ways. I think sharks and crows come to mind first but I’ve seen just about everything in my time editing. I like to use birds in my own work though.

#horrorwriterschat

I’m Erin. I‘m writer and dark poet and a freelance horror editor. I write domestic, gothic horror mostly. Nature - trees and birds - creep into my stories a lot. And subtle monsters.

#horrorwriterschat

Today is the first day I hear all the birds singing in the backyard again! It’s 40F and I can’t believe it. Spring smells and sounds like it’s coming. 🫶🏼🌼

My daughter is home for her Spring Break. Saturday we went to see the women only art display at Canton Museum of Art, a local place for non-dairy milk teas/coffee, family-owned Italian restaurant, & the recently opened Canton B&N. Exhibit was a great way to start off women’s history month! 🫶🏼

Oh hot still! Ugh. Hope it gets better for you soon! I’m sorry, I used to see you went on a lot of walks! Pretty cold and tail end of winter here. No long walks yet but looking forward to spring. 💛

Definitely good to do! How is the weather there? Taking walks?

Sometimes your brain needs a breather!
