I had to leave the chaos of the house to concentrate, but working on some projects and now editing & uploading an article & photos for an editor/author I adore about D.C. in WWII. So interesting! Love hosting articles on my website. Watch for this one to go live early tomorrow! 🙌🏼

It’s soooo cold in Ohio! I usually go out on fridays but I’m just staying in. Eating split pea soup, huddling with my blanket and cats, and watching TV and reading later. Might be chocolate, too (I mean, of course there will be). 🥣❄️🎄

I’m not having the best mental health or pain level day. Though it’s 15F out, I’m going to go thrifting for books & sweaters & to eat some comfort food (aka Panda Express). Self-care in the winter months lol!

The other day I had been wishing for hot chocolate and/or coffee at the library! And Monday, I found one that has a machine for both! I had a mokkacino, which I found out was a cafe mocha. So cool! 😅📚☕️

#HorrorWritersChat Q1
I’m Erin and I’ve been reading, writing, and editing horror of all types for decades. I love writing dark poetry and short stories the most, and I lean toward the Gothic and domestic horror as well as creatures and fairy tale.
It’s nice to have this community. RIP Matt. 🕯️

Horror means safety. It means vulnerability and openness. It’s curiosity and facing fears. It’s a friend.

Working on some of my own writing tonight after finishing some editing work. After all these years, writing is a flame that sits in my belly. It gives me passion and hope. I feel alive because of it. Can’t wait to dive in!
