Great example— Prey is arguably one of the best of the franchise. Ring Shout kind of does this—inserts a racist film classic into the timeline it represents, where the monster hunters of the South are African Americans, and the movie is a dangerous calling. This one’s a thinker. #HorrorWritersChat

I mean, I’m boring but I grew up in a small town environment where everyone’s secrets are everyone’s business. That definitely seeps into my work. The Schoharie is about that more than the angry spirit story. The current WIP is all about small town gossip. Even w/its ghosts. #HorrorWritersChat

Making it personal. Q3: #HorrorWritersChat - In what ways has your own history (past) impacted or inspired your horror writing? Examples: giving a character your childhood trauma, reimagining an experience with a different ending.

It can be significant. In Perfect Prophet, we meet the MC when he gets shot. But he’s been running from his past of a bad family upbringing. He’s avoided sharing his past, but things are happening that chip away at it thoughout the story. #HorrorWritersChat

The Heritage Foundation is, simply, evil. If you think this is an overstatement you've probably overlooked something. www.project2025.observer/en

Jess Piper@piperformissouri.bsky.social · 11h ago

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

#AugCharWork The current WIP has 3 characters. The hero—sooo average. His words and actions define him. He takes the bus. He’s doubtful about EVERYTHING. The love interest—opposes the hero. Cheerful. Wants to please. The competition—a celebrity with ego. Smarmy, self confident, flattering.

August Character Workshop Day 4. Flair #AugCharWork I’m calling this section Flair. What is unique about this character? Not every character needs to have something unique, but if they don’t then the audience will typically forget them as they walk off stage.

I already have two books out in my World Without Love series, a dark fantasy saga set in the Aphrocalypse and always starring a lesbian couple (and more than one in Book 4, but... we'll get there!) 🔥💕 You can find it on a few stores, including my own PayHip: campsite.bio/nicolehidalgo

Cover of This Is How Immortals Die by Nicole Hidalgo, made by David Leahey. It depicts the heavenly beautiful face of a woman (Aphrodite herself), a tear sliding down her only visible eyes, her hair flowing and blending in with the star-studded dark blue and purple cosmos behind her. The author's name, Nicole Hidalgo, is on top, while the title, This Is How Immortals Die, sits at the bottom. Some letters are stylised as Greek letters.Cover of Garden of Rotten Roses by Nicole Hidalgo, made by David Leahey. It depicts a woman (Aphrodite) dressed in broken Greek armour standing between a garden full of thorns and roses. The woman's hair is the colour of blood, and her face is half-turned towards the viewer, her one visible eye glowing red, her expression angry. The title and author's name are at the bottom, with some letters stylised as Greek letters.
