Uncanny Download (+ Prompts)
Last week, I wrote about using the uncanny in your own fiction. It’s such a great horror technique, and it actually works for any genre…even literary fiction.

The struggle between responsibilities and “just one more chapter” is real.
What book would you ignore your tasks for right now?

Sometimes the hardest part isn't writing the story. It's staying interested in it long enough to finish it.
Writers, has this ever happened to you?

PSA: that "heap of trash" can be edited. A blank screen can't. Type the terrible draft. 🦔

#WordWeavers Sept. 25: Do illicit drugs or alcohol play a role in your story?

Nope. Not one bit.

#WritersCoffeeClub Sept. 25: Talk about a communal writing project you worked on. How did it go?

Fear the Boot published two speculative fiction anthologies. It went well, my two Seven Galaxies short stories appeared first there.

Some days the words flow. Some days every sentence is a battle.
The important thing is showing up anyway.
A messy draft can be fixed. A blank page can't.

In happier news: today, I finished version 5(?) of my novel, which means I get to put it away for a month to marinate.

I fixed issues beta readers found, introduced fun new stuff, and added 13,000 words to what was a too-short manuscript.

A strong plot twist doesn’t appear from nowhere. Plant clues, build expectations, and hide the answer in plain sight. When the reveal changes how readers understand earlier events, it feels earned.!!!

Some things don’t make sense when they happen.

Years later, you look back and realize they were quietly connected all along.

I’ve been thinking about those moments lately—the ones that feel insignificant until suddenly, they aren’t.

Writers, what part of your current WIP are you most excited about right now? I always love hearing what authors are working on and what makes a story special to them.

Authors

What’s one part of your current WIP you’re "not 100% sure about yet"?

Opening, pacing, characters, plot, or ending?

Tell me in the comments I’m curious what everyone is working on!

Writers, quick question .

What’s the "ONE thing your current draft needs help with most"?

Pacing? Characters? Plot? Dialogue? Ending?

Drop it in the comments, I’d love to know what you’re working on.
