Catherine Tavares

All right, I have something down. It is within the word count limit. It does not involve flaming boulders. Does that mean it is good? I am going to let Future Catherine make that call tomorrow. I am done looking at this story for today.

Always have a wizard at the ready.

Words to live by.

See, this is why I should always add a character with that capability. Massive oversight on my part.

I have been editing the same 200 words of this story ending for hours, but I cannot seem to land this plane! I am two seconds away from just typing, "and then flaming boulders fell from the sky and wiped out everything, the end."

Submission Guidelines - Adventitious. Submission Guidelines: "Surprise" doesn't only mean twists. We want stories that offer a sense of wonder...

(I almost missed this. There's nothing on my calendar! My computer will send me notifications for International Pretzel Day or some nonsense, but not this? Do better, computer!)

When therapy wasn't covered by my insurance, I stopped going because I knew adding financial peril to the mix would be worse for my depression than me going untreated. That's a calculation I have to make for a lot of healthcare, unfortunately.

It's a new story day!!!

I am so delighted to share one of the first horror stories I ever wrote and my love letter to survival horror video games, alt format prose, and fanfiction (you know, if love were expressed as scary, gory, meta stories about stories about stories).

See you in the fic!

So thrilled to have this out in the world now! Thank you!

Lovely shout-out for my horror as comfort essay over at Adventitious as issue two prepares to be released! Thank you!

Check out the peace found in horror and get a look at the upcoming issue two!

Thanks for the shout-out! Happy to hear others find comfort in horror as well. I'm looking forward to issue 2!

This chart also applies to writing fiction, FYI.
