Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything here. So much has happened in that time, I can't possibly update it all in one post, so... I guess it's exploration time for me. #writerbrain

She is spread out in unbearable softness, a wedding gown with no-one to wear; the moon’s reflection would carry her amidst all others. The flower has become too majestic in her fragile form for this world to carry—a cage-world that rolls free #thought into its hold. No childhood, no honour. #inkMine

Secure within these bubble walls
where truth gets filtered in

No shades of gray to be found in here

Cause those who dare question get vanished
lest they cloud our regurgitated narrative

So much easier for us
not to be burdened with thought
comfy in a hammock
of opinion uniformity

You #lace our friendship with little things
A slight touch
A lingering glance as you shut the door
I smile but nothing more
Desiring but scared
Once before
In the cemetery with a warm autumn wind
I was overwhelmed
Never saw her again
I look at you now and shudder
Drop my head and walk away

Under the flickering circus lights, the fire eater’s lips curled into a #pucker as they neared the flame. The few circus-goers who had wandered this deep into the tented village shifted uncomfortably.

The flame itself took the shape of a mouth and turned to them.

“Run,” it hissed.

Some actions cannot be undone, so once down the #rabbit_hole, one must make a plan. #vss365 #vsshorror

Oooh, this is a story I'd love to read.
She found sticky notes in her daughter’s room. Scrawled fragments of research. Each one incoherent on their own. But when she found the connecting pieces, she realized it was part of something greater. A #rabbit_hole mystery of children who’d gone missing in the neighborhood without a trace.

Honestly, I'm just proudest of the fact that I finished something again after a long time struggling and that I'm committed to seeing something through to publication for the first time.

But also there's little snips like this one that make me feel clever. 🤣

Letting your weirdness out in full force is hard work, but it always pays dividends! #pretendpanel #writing #horrorwriters
#pretendpanel

With the 3 novels I have in progress, I'm most proud that I was able to shrug off my filters, let some of my most ridiculous ideas out of the basement and get them on the page.

Be weird! Do Art!

Howdy #pretendpanel! Wow, I should have guessed you'd have some great answers to the last question ❤️‍🩹

Looking forward to knowing:

January 18th: Which part of your book/story/WIP makes you proudest?

I haven't cried yet, but it's early days. I almost cried looking at the source material for the awful thing someone did to my book's "monster" because it was an atrocious act of human violence towards an innocent creature. #amwriting #horrorwriting #pretendpanel
Hello #pretendpanel crew, let's flip the question from yesterday on its head:

January 17th: Does any part of your book/story/WIP make you cry?

Sometimes home isn't the best sanctuary, especially when your new friend is something too big, too strange to exist.

The #fool ripped the veil from the corpse’s face, eager to mock the superstition. By dawn, his skin had peeled away, replaced with ribbons of sinew that wept black fluid, his laughter a wet, gurgling ruin.

Every place he traveled to, he was rude and cared not for the locals' culture, which wore thin at the last village he visited

He wished to act like a #fool so they punished him as such

By the evening, his skined body was on display in the village square

"Maybe she was a fool for having cut the creature free, but she would rather be a fool than a monster." - untitled horror novel, Evelith Gray #amwriting #vss365 #vsshorror
An important character in a Shakespeare play fulfilling two important functions:
He has licence to speak the unreserved truth, commenting on the characters and their actions for the benefit of the audience.
The fool is usually the wisest.

The book I'm working on matters to me because it will be the first horror novel I've ever completed.
#pretendpanel, how are we all? I'm looking forward to hearing...
