It's almost Friday, your energy might be flagging, so here's a reminder... Not a moment you spend on your WIP is ever wasted.

1) Write it, but you scrap it = progress.
2) Write it, and you use it = progress.
3) Write it, but you rewrite it = progress.

It all leads to finished books. Keep going! 🖤

I love seeing our two spooky (definitely not cursed) books together like this! They're like evil twins or Ringu and Pulse. If you'd like to win a FOUND double-bill like this one, follow me and share this post. I'll pick a winner on 01/18 👻.

Huge thanks to samanthahaunts for this awesome shot! 📼🖤

Tony’s Top Reads of 2024
2024 must be the year of the short story, as I have two collections and one anthology in my latest annual roundup for Horror DNA.

FOUND 2, edited by @andrewcull.bsky.social and @gabino.bsky.social, is a well rounded horror anthology, perfect if you like the found footage genre, or even if you prefer to read more experimental horror.

Those are my thoughts:
