    Opening scene of a chapter out of W.I.P.

    Just looking for general advice. The scene is meant to be... not so much scary, but to invoke a sense of some sort of dread, but I think I've overdone it on some description and lost my way a bit. Any advice is helpful. 861 Words in length ------------- COFFIN SCENE He had no idea how long he...

    Why Are so Many of the Great Writers in Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Falling into Neglect ?

    I find it difficult to prescribe to phrases like “classic” or “guilty pleasure”. What the hell is the difference? People like certain books and some people don’t. I don’t see what the point of the original question even is. Who’s “neglected”? Is someone upset that their favorite author isn’t...

    DISCUSSION -- April 2019 - 75 Word Challenge

    Haha thanks for the shoutout Mr. Gibson. I wish that was all I required to get a leg up on the competition. Alas, it is not. Also, thank you The Judge for the short list as well. I’ve been away a while, so to still get so many short list mentions is a real honor. Congratulations, Teresa!

    April 2019 -- 75 Word Story Challenge -- VICTORY TO TERESA EDGERTON!

    The Transformation House I crawl through the dark hallway, legs dragging, blood dripping. Screams issue from a dozen rooms. The bones in my body snap apart, twisting, growing. Chains drag against floors. Something howls upstairs. I cry out as my spine cracks and twists, bones restructuring...

    Joust Night

    I would love to read more of this. Despite the slow start and the lack of a stricter POV, i thought it was very entertaining. But all of your stuff usually is.

    Music to write Fantasy to

    I made a playlist on youtube that I use. Mostly dramatic orchestral scores, because I like the noise but vocals distract my already paper-thin attentiveness.

    The discovery process strikes again...

    I'm pure discovery writer. I'll get an idea for a super awesome, visually stunning scene, write it, and go from there. Takes me all over the place, which is probably why I'm not published yet, but I enjoy this method.

    How much should I be writing?

    I had to cut out video games in order to get any writing done. At first it was difficult, because I've been a gamer off and on my entire life, but I managed. The problem was that I spent twenty years of getting instant gratification out of video games. Some people have this same problem with...

    March 2017: What are you reading ?

    Currently reading Robert Mccammon's Swan Song. So far, much more gripping and in your face than The Stand was.

    Dan Simmons and Hyperion

    So I'm looking for opinions on Dan Simmons' novel Hyperion. From what I've read about him I was surprised to find he doesn't have a thread in the authors section. First off, I'm not the most avid Science fiction reader, mostly fantasy and horror. But lately I've been interested in delving into...

    What Game Are You Currently Playing?

    Still playing the crap out of Elder Scrolls Online on my PS4. Nothing has been as detrimental to my reading and writing as this PS4 has been.

    Help (and some concerns) on identifying Joe Abercrombie's writing style

    I'm going to put my two cents in here for a moment. Joe Abercrombie, like some have mentioned previously, has his own style. Joe writes like Joe and nobody else. This worked for Hemingway, Meiville, Mccarthy, and many others. People love reading these authors. People also love reading Joe...

    Lovelock

    Thanks everyone for the advice. Taking everything well into consideration. I'm going to tighten up the prose to a more secluded third person limited, as well, not so much of an omniscient feel. And you read the beginning as I intended it to be, reaper. His relaxed attitude at seeing the ghost...

    Lovelock

    Thanks for the input, guys! Everything suggested makes perfect sense and are some of the things I seem to typically miss when rereading my work. Not entirely sure why, exactly. Anyways, thanks for your help. (y)

    Character Creation Chain

    Loretta Mollit carries two six shooters, each one holstered on either side of her broad hips. A scarf is tied around her neck, a wide-brimmed hat hides her face in darkness. A tall man in dark clothes stands twenty paces across from her, a toothless grin beneath a bushy moustache. One meaty hand...
