New Horror Author to Your Forum

[Macey Wuesthoff]

[SIZE=3]Hello, and thanks for allowing me to join your cool forum. My name is Macey Baggett Wuesthoff, and I am a horror writer. My first novel SACRIFICE was published by Amber Quill Press a couple of years ago. I have had a number of other shorter works published, both fiction and nonfiction. Please feel free to visit me at my homepage http://www.maceyshouseofhorror.com. Thanks!

Rule #1 of HDC While we, especially me, appreciate your writing abilities, don't pimp your stuff. People just really get offended.

I'm a little put off that you used Sephiroth's music on your site with out giving him any credit. I realize that he's a character, but that's beside the point.:D

Oh yes, All Hail the Wicked Witch of the West. Respect my Witch-y authoritah!

I'm offended that you used *site* in the wrong context. fix it NOW!:)

[Haunted]

Thanks. I fixed it. Sorry about not paying attention back there.

[Posher778]

Hah.... It was a joke BTW.

Much thanks for the welcomes. No offense was intended in posting the writing information--as it's a horror forum, I just thought it was related...sorry, really! Also, on the Sephiroth's theme, the download was from another site that listed that particular score as shareware (a number of sites do, actually). Otherwise, had a composer been listed, I would have gladly given credit. I believe that pretty much all of the audio/graphics on my site are shareware, but if they are not, I have notice that the owners can e-mail me if I have infringed upon their rights somehow, and I will discontinue use of said material.

Thanks for saying hello!

Welcome and remember to respect Haunted! :p

[Macey Wuesthoff]

I didn't realize I had said anything disrespectful. I was merely trying to answer in a straightforward manner.

[Haunted]

You didn't. The music is from the video game Final Fantasy VII (which, with all the movies, remakes, branch off games and other shit, isn't, apparently all that final...but I digress), and the villain, Sephiroth just happens to be a beautiful male picture, and I just happen to have the tinsiest fetish. I was just taking the piss. Worry not.

It'll be nice to have an author around. Perhaps you can help me. You see, I'm trying to write a novel, not a piece of shit page by page hack, but an honest to Goddess novel with plot and plot twists, multi-dimensional characters, humor, horror, and everything else. The problem is that I am a professional procrastinator. Any hints?:)

I'm one of the resident Witches, by the way.:) Need occult information or a point in the right direction, just ask. I don't just do it, I live and breath it. It's my passion... other than writing.

I really really really want to flame noobs again.




IT WOULD FUCKING RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









By the way, welcome u spamming peace of crap.(Sarcasm)

[Macey Wuesthoff]

...for the warm and amusing welcomes. Haunted, ironically, you are asking me for tips on the same issue with which I am struggling now...procrastination. I did read an article about procrastination in this month's issue of THE WRITER'S JOURNAL (I got a one year's subscription as partial payment for an article of mine they published...is mentioning that spam? ;). In a nutshell, the author recommend that you spend times when you can't get motivated to write looking for promotional opportunites for your current works and marketing them, networking with other authors such as via boards like this one, revising other already-completed works and submitting (or resubmitting them for publication), generating a list of ideas for future stories, or doing something healthy or constructive outside of writing, like exercise or chores. I myself try to participate in shorter writing exercises, such as poetry or writing product/movie reviews for Epinions.com, the latter of which is rewarding because you get immediate feedback on your work from other members in the form of ratings and comments. I hope this helps!

Haunted, I could use your assistance later on regarding witchcraft stuff because a novella I have written has a lot of that content in it. My main focus at present, however, and largely the cause of my procrastination, is a stump I've run upon in my research for the sequel to SACRIFICE. Specifically, I need to know what the typical police procedures are for protecting an orphaned minor who is the key witness in a high profile murder case (such as, do they put armed guards outside the orphange, hide the witness out at various federal agents' homes, or something else?). If any of you know anything about this, please contact me at [email protected].

You seem to be very nice but your cluttered website gave me a seizure with all the noise and flashing. Other than that, hello.

Welcome to HDC Macey.Its nice to get mature, informed posters here.

[Macey Wuesthoff]

I appreciate the welcome and the compliments, Newb...thanks!

[The Flayed One]

Hello Macey. As a fellow horror writer (though mostly unpublished) I welcome you and look forward to conversing. Perhaps you could post some shorts in the horror fiction section, as there are few of us that actually do.

[Macey Wuesthoff]

Thanks for the welcome, Flayed. At some point, I will definitely post at least some excerpts.:cool:

Ummm...well, those who know me personally might beg to differ...

I still play video games.
I have Frankenberry, Fruity Pebbles, and BooBerry in my apartment.
I still love stuffed animals.
I love BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD, SOUTH PARK, and THE SIMPSONS.
I love potty humor and fart jokes.
I'm always up for a good board game or game of chase, but no one my age ever wants to play (sigh:( ).

I guess it all depends upon what you define as mature. Or perhaps we can more delicately term it as "denial of age" ;-).

I'm still wondering just when you're supposed to start acting and dressing 'old'....I mean, am I gonna wake up one day, put on some lime green polyester pants, and start yelling at the kids to "stay the hell off my lawn", or what?...And will I have to stop playing video games, engaging in daily sex, playing in the rain at night, wearing what I LIKE to wear, listening to metal, etcetera?....Seriously...How do people know when it's time to do that?:confused:

hmm, maybe it was sent to someone else by mistake -so somewhere there is a 15 year old girl wearing support hose and kvetching about the price of kotex and the way things have changed since she was a little girl. . . yikes

When mine comes, I'm throwing it in the garbage with the rest of my junk mail, like my stepgrandmother did with hers. She's 85, goes to dances, has numerous boyfriends, parties down, and doesn't look a day over 60. That's who I want to be like, forever living decades beneath my true age.:)
