- #HorrorWritersChat Our bodies are the homes that house us. Sometimes they work to our advantage. Sometimes they can work against us. Q3: Describe the physical characteristics of one of your horror story characters. Is there anything about their body that helps or hinders them in their story?
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Big, elaborate spaces for characters who just want a small, isolated corner.

- #HorrorWritersChat Question 4: "Took them long enough," I answered.
- Gnarled hands grasp the thrumming earth around you. Void-coloured eyes behold you. “Embrace me, and my power, you shall have.” You grasp the dagger in the skull. You do not waver. “They killed your kindness,” your darkness whispered. “And now, all you have is me.” Continue it. #HorrorWritersChat
- #HorrorWritersChat Question: When they embrace their dark side they don't change, they realize who they were all along.
- All the abuse. All the manipulation. All the tyranny. Blistering scabs on your soul. Your breaths rumble in the mound. Your eyes lock with the god in front of you. How changed do your characters become if they embrace their darkest parts? Do things change around them? #HorrorWritersChat
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 2: All my characters have one of three dark flaws: seeking power because they think they know what's best, refusing power because they don't trust themselves, or seeking power because they don't care what's best.
- You lob the sack onto the slab. The human spills out of it – battered and broken, your dagger lodged in their skull still. Their face. You remember everything they’ve done. The eyes glimmer at your contempt. What are your characters’ darkest parts? Do they embrace them? #HorrorWritersChat
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Penname Victor K. Sanders. I write horror based on old movies. And, honestly, I think most people's dark side comes down to a desire for power, it just takes many forms.
- The mound’s warm innards thrum as you descend. A huge, stone slab is ahead, shining with portent. Eyes, older than words, behold you from the darkness. A question emerges. Tell us who you are, what do you write, and what part of yourself do you consider the darkest? #HorrorWritersChat

- #HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Noll, Anya, and Maria looked at each other. Could they really afford to fail National Hugging Day again?...then they remembered none of them were U.S. citizens and moved on.

- #HorrorWritersChat Question 4: I don't think I've ever done a non-supernatural antagonist.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 3: While I don't pretend to be on his level, I tend to use a lot of flashbacks and internal monologues to develop characters and build dread, kind of like Stephen King.
- The author disabled quotes.Q3 #HorrorWritersChat How does your writing style seek to instill fear, disgust, or otherwise unsettle your readers? [See an example from Cynthia Pelayo in the graphic]
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 2: The world I've been writing stories isn't simply a place where monsters are real. It's a place where they're provably real, but most people are too lazy to look at the evidence. So, I violate the assumption that they're even bothering to hide.
- #HorrorWritersChat Penname Victor K. Sanders. I write horror inspired by old horror movies. My latest story was inspired by Hills Like White Elephants by Hemmingway, mixed with a lot of Robert E. Howard and a touch of The Cats of Ulthar by Lovecraft.
- Reposted by did:plc:ap67gf6ee2jupxsqupnqqsfdGood week for a reminder about the confederate battle flag Minnesota refuses to return to the south
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 4: Most commonly by injuries. Sometimes their bodies change. Their souls, very much the same.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 3: If we define "sacrifice" as something given up voluntarily, my characters rarely do that. If they did they wouldn't be in the horror story they found themselves in.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Usually their tolerance for bullshit goes way down.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Pen name Victor K. Sanders. I write stories based on old horror movies. And with my wife expecting, I would never want to give up the part of me that already loves my child.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 4: With a heavy heart, Noll laid aside the pistol Anya had given him before he left. He didn't need it, there were many ways to take a life. But, he missed the girl.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 3: Horror merch. My most beloved material possessions!
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 2: Probably the future. The old have way more power in our society, so the most impactful thing I'll ever do is likely ahead of me.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 1: Pen name Victor K. Sanders. I write horror inspired by old movies. Also, I'll become a parent in May of next year, so if I die I intend to still be there for my child!
- @marywyrd.bsky.social Quote posts are disabled? Now I'm sad. Sorry I missed this week.
- #horrorwriting Working on a story I intended for r/NoSleep, but realizing it's probably too slow-burn for that. Now I don't know where to post it!
- Was home sick today and tried my first @sainteuphoria.bsky.social movie, The Monster of Phantom Lake! It made my day significantly less miserable!
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 4: "My sins take shape. My sins gain sight. They turn towards me. And I turn away."
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 3: My three primary characters believe that anyone can have redemption if they try to change, that some people are unworthy of redemption, and that redemption is a meaningless concept and people are either dangerous or they aren't. I agree with the last one.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question: Most of my characters haven't had enough choice in their lives yet to have regrets. The real question is, will they regret the choices they make when they get the chance?
- #HorrorWritersChat Question One: Penname Victor K Sanders. I write movies inspired by old horror movies. I've actually made differing views on forgiveness a key difference in how my characters view the world.
- @erynmccee.bsky.social @chaoticauthor.online Yesterday was my birthday, and look what I got! RIP Matt, I hate that I can't tell you what I think. #HorrorWritersChat remembers you.
- #WritingCommunity At over 100k words, I finished my first draft yesterday, which was also my birthday. The current ending is terrible, but its such a big win just to have a draft done.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question Four: Most likely pictures would be the first thing. They're subtle, but would imply much bigger changes.
- #HorrorWritersChat Question 3: When I was in High School two country songs came out with similar openings. I ended up despising one because every time I heard it's opening I was hoping to hear the other one. I think maybe the good one was "Pickin' Wildflowers" and bad one was "I Love This Bar."
