You have a choice to engage, share or otherwise enjoy any of the creatives who post everyday who need support and are anti genAI. So many are trying and are overshadowing by the doom posts and it’s silly. You can talk your self into worst times by letting it be the default.

“But what’s the thing we can do that AI can’t? Hurt. AI can send writing into the world and feel nothing about how it’s received. My writing is mine. I’m connected to it. My nerve endings are here. I labored over choices. I wondered. I guessed. I changed. I felt bad, then good, then bad again.”

Someone just told me “bruh you’re playing Balatro now? You’re like 2 years late where have you been”. Dude fuck the FOMO shit. Games are timeless. Leave the algorithm and just play the games you feel like when you want.

#HorrorWritersChat I roll over to turn off my phone alarm. "Oh geez!" The diplodocus is sitting on my dresser, its neck stretched out as far as it can go, peering at me through the dim light of morning. "Um, ok." I'm not sure what I should do now. Its mouth opens and hisses. Run, maybe I'll run.

My story is about a person who is a food taster for rich people in a world without health inspections. The turn comes when her tasting ritual starts showing her new things. #HorrorWritersChat

Boy howdy. Blue Circuits is built around the MC's daily ritual of kissing his wife before heading off to work, his 8-hour shift, chatting with the work-buds, then heading home. The comfort of stability. Then the supercomputer starts talking and his sanity gets put on the line. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Spike. It was really Spike. 37 years missing. The white teddy bear dressed in his black sailor uniform was sitting on my couch. I immediately looked for the hidden cameras. My eyes kept being dragged by to Spike. I didn't dare touch him. I didn't dare speak. He didn't speak.

#Horrorwriterschat Tough question in my current state! In my current WIP, the familiar is the detective agency my MC works at. It's home base. But it's not socially safe for him, since he's trans, and he's treated like a rookie because of his age. So he gets the jobs no one else wants...

"You're a lot bigger than I remember you being," I tell the Astronaut Barbie lying on my side of the bed. I'm not entirely sure - it's probably just a trick of the light - but something moves behind the helmet's visor. #HorrorWritersChat

Afternoon/Evening fellow weirdos. I'm Michelle Heller, I mostly write body/cosmic/creature horror with a dose of comedy. I had this plastic alligator toy named Milo that I carried EVERYWHERE lol. Alligators/crocs are so common in horror though so it doesn't bug me 🤣. Loved Crawl. #HorrorWritersChat

Q1 for #Horrorwriterschat, because today is a day for teddy bears, I believe...

If we're talking Blue Circuits: coffee breaks. It's actually been really interesting trying to figure out the right balance between breaks that throw off the pacing and the kind that can build dread by, uh, "edging" the reader. Who doesn't long for that 15? BUT WATCH OUT. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! It's me, Mitch; your queer horror writer of the sci-fi and nostalgia-baiting kind. I think horror has already taken care of all things I used to find comforting. Pretty sure my last bastion was Winnie the Pooh, but shout-out to Blood and Honey, I guess. 😂
