- Home repairs and headaches got between me and accomplishing much as a writer or editor today. But then I see a truly fantastic debut novel I edited earlier this year, The 12th of Never by Oje Kendi, released today, and that helps a lot. If you love Stranger Things, this might hit the spot.

- Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi are beautiful people & wonderful actors. But Cathy & Heathcliff weren't beautiful adults playing 50 Shades of Bridgerton; they were abused, twisted children acting out physical attraction & patterns of abuse. Their story is sexy in a broken way, but it isn't pretty.

Not too long ago, I read "The Binding of Bloom Mountain" by @vesperdoom.com and enjoyed it. Very fantasy-horror, lots of great, witchy world building, and LGBT/neurodivergent representation.

- Reposted by Lucy Blue#HorrorWritersChat When I think “murder your darlings” I think about editing. There are lines, plots, chapters and whole ideas I've had to "murder" in service of the story I'm telling. Some of those lines were my favourites...but they had to go. I buried them all in a resurrection document.

- Reposted by Lucy BlueI think somewhere in the middle is the best way to have balance in my work. If I deleted all of my best sentences, my prose would come off pretty weak. But I also don’t want it to seem too self-aggrandizing either. As always, I’m still learning what is best. #HorrorWritersChat

- I'm currently reading Below the Grand Hotel by Cat Scully, published by CLASH Books, and it is really, reeeeally good. And of course I have to plug the whole Falstaff Dread line from my publisher, particularly Vegas Run by Rachel A. Brune. (Yes, I've read it, and yes, I loved it.) #HorrorWritersChat

- Reposted by Lucy BlueDepends on the story you want to tell and the vibes you're going for. I've made characters both. In WTSG, the premise is all about a relationship with death and with life. Knowing when to pull the plug (so to speak) is extremely important to a character's story. #horrorwriterschat

- Reposted by Lucy BlueI have had to murder so many darlings over the years. But the way I soften it is by keeping a document where I paste in the lines or paragraphs or scenes that I really loved that just aren't working. That way they still live on somewhere, and maybe someday they'll get a new home. #HorrorWritersChat

I started out in playwriting and seriously nobody gives a shit because if it doesn't work you just change it because it doesn't work. If it's a good line, it stays till it isn't a good line. Because I have more books to write.
