Inspiration: part 1
Reblogged from The Horrifically Horrifying Horror Blog:
“Where do you get your ideas?”
It’s the oldest question in the world.
Well, maybe the second oldest. Considering the “world’s oldest profession,” I think the oldest question may be “How much would it cost for you to strip down to just the black stiletto heels and an eye patch, while I crawl around in a kiddie pool filled with Prego chunky garden variety spaghetti sauce, wearing a diaper and fishnet stockings, and you spank me with a copy of Atlas Shrugged while screaming in Klingon?”
Add your thoughts here... (optional)

Inner Demons
Do we fear the voices that dwell deep in the darkness of our mind?
Would you lock them away, or give them the key to escape?

IMAGES: WEREWOLVES
Reblogged from Written in Blood:
I’m feeling a bit tired and a little lazy, but I still want to get a post in for today. So instead of writing some long review I thought I would just share some of my favorite images of werewolves that I’ve discovered while doing the Google thing. I don’t know who the artists are for the particular pieces I’m featuring here; so if you see a piece that belongs to you or you know to whom it belongs then let me know and I will either give you proper credit or will remove it if you so desire.
I love werewolves and this collection of images is cool.

MY 10 FAVORITE HORROR BOOKS; PERHAPS OF ALL TIME
Reblogged from Written in Blood:
I thought I would do something a bit more diverse this fine Sunday evening. Just to prove to everyone that I read, here is my list of my 10 favorite horror books of all time. Let’s see what we have here:
1. Ghoul by Michael Slade
Michael Slade combines horror, history, mystery and police procedural better than any author I’ve ever read.
November 5th
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli’ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d (or by God’s mercy*)
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him? Burn him!
Guy, guy, guy
Poke him in the eye,
Put him on the bonfire,
And there let him die
A traitor to the Crown by his action,
No Parli’ment mercy from any faction,
His just end should’st be grim,
What should we do? Burn him!
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring,
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the King!

NaNoWriMo Time Management Tip #3: Outlining
Reblogged from Writing Is Hard Work:
This guy writes without an outline, but then again, he’s not normal. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
There may be many of you who write like Stephen King, who have a general idea where you are going with your novel but have decided to “wing it” every day during the NaNoWriMo, relying on your instincts to get you through this massive project. If you are able to do this, and be consistent with it, my writer’s cap is off in your honor.
I am very much a Stephon King style writer. The outline I need are the margins on the page. Anything else and the writing becomes forced and loses all of its natural flow.

Tomorrow is the Big Day
I am ready!
It will be a huge task, but my alarm is being set earlier than ever and my attention will be 100% on specific writing windows. Nothing will deter me during these times.
So, come on everybody…
LET’S GET IT ON!!!!!
