Jason Howl
Did you ever read a story that was too short or too long or you didn't like the ending? Or the villain was too predictable or the good guy was a little too "good."
I'll bet at least once you've stopped in the middle of a book, turned to the author's photo on the back, and scolded, "That's not what would really happen!"
Well, I get to write my stories however I want. I'm not saying I'm a better writer than the horror authors who, even if we love them, make us roll our eyes sometimes. They're doing their thing. I'm doing mine.
That's the best thing about being a writer.
By the way, if I make you roll you eyes, I'd love to know. That means I might do it differently next time. Maybe.
And if you ever can't make it to the ending, let me know. When it comes to horror, that means I'm doing something right.
