I'm writing that book I've always said that I would write. Currently, my project is stepping back and doing some reading, because I've lost my perspective on "how to write." It's worse than "the block." It got started because I withheld all reading materials while working telling myself I didn't have time. Bad move on my part. Reading is as integral to writing as breathing oxygen. So now I will just have to make that time to read while I'm not actually at work. |

I came to the very same conclusion about 3 months ago. I hadnt read an actual novel in years (almost 5), then decided since Bree was reading several novels in a row, that i would give R A Salvatore a go since he was the person who got me started in the first place. Bingo, 2 books later, I was so overwhelmed by the number of ideas i had banging around in my head, i started writing again, hardcore. It has been all fantasy, I'm a bit horrored out after cranking out i think 5 or 6 in the past year (short stories, horror themed). Turns out Brieze is in another short, and is one of the central figures in a novel. So now i am stuck, i have a fantasy world coming together in my mind a couple of spreadhseets, and I cant stop thinking about them :) So i am on book number 5 from Salvatore :) |

I’ve been writing horror fiction since I was in primary school. The first horror story I remember reading was Slugs by Shaun Hutson. I found it disgustingly horrific. It gave me a life-long aversion to the slimy things in my garden that sneak into the house in the middle of the night leaving trails on my carpet and walls – but it also made me interested in writing my own horror stories.
My early stuff was all gore and death - emulating the horror I read in books by James Herbert and Guy N. Smith – but I’ve mellowed over the years. I still enjoy bumping off characters in gruesome ways – but some of them survive to the end of some stories. There was a long time when I stopped writing horror because there was practically no market for horror short stories in the UK – but I’ve reKINDLEd my interest thanks to the self-publishing options now available. All those stories I wrote and stuffed in drawers - or left on my hard drive gathering virtual dust - don’t have to stay there any longer. I dusted them off and revised them and self-published a couple of collections just to see how it would go. |
