Reason one million I love my husband:

When ranting about poor writing/plot in horror, his argument was “they should write like @marysangiovanni.bsky.social instead.” Followed by a five minute argument explicating why her work is amazing

10/10 no notes totally keeping him

AAAAAAAH the joy in my heart when my kid decides he wants to examine performative and historical concepts of whiteness in the South (think The Mind of the South, Killers of the Dream, etc—why this toxic, oppressive culture exists and how it persists)

My liberal Southern Gothic soul rejoices

A banner day in the life of Southern Gothic writer: I finally wrote #7, thus slaying every trope on the list.

On the blog...thoughts on the book Ninety-Eight Sabers by @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social!
The past will keep us locked with the horrors if we let it.

The Prison of the Past

I read this lovely book on vacation! Blurb: Family secrets. High strangeness. Reality TV. The Trenholm clan helped found Lower Congaree, South Carolina. Their land is cursed. Their abusive patriarc…

A beautiful story of how the past has teeth and claws and can become a prison. How showing love and sadness aren’t weaknesses. How family can be hurtful, but also healing. Dark and creepy and full of emotion. Ninety Eight Sabers by @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social

Yes, BUT hear me out: I said the exact same thing for mental health reasons. I need to appreciate where I am in order to function.

I should have been born right where I am. Despite the state of the world, we enjoy a recognition of neurodivergence, sexuality, and gender. Our lives are unimaginably rich and luxurious compared to the past. Also my kids aren’t dying. FTR this is a mental health thing 🤣 #horrorwriterschat

Well then, it's another night of #HorrorWritersChat. @chaoticauthor.online can't make it to host this week so you have meeeeeeee again. You lucky squirrels, you.
Tell me which time period you should have been born in. And what you write.
