Horror's Greatest Hits
Abby Torres
Abby Torres asked Darcy Coates:

Hi Darcy! How did you start writing these great books? I have been wanting to write a book, and it seems I have writers block. From: Abby

Darcy Coates Hi Abby! A blank page can be daunting, but it's easier if you remember that your writing doesn't have to be perfect at first. You can always fix it when editing it later; the first draft simply has to exist. Set low goals to begin with: say, 20 words a day, something laughably easy. Then gradually increase your daily word goals until you reach a pace that's comfortable. Write a bit every day and you'll inevitably end up with a complete book.

I noticed you answered a question from a reader that you like to write at night. With that being said, Do you spook yourself when your writing these horror novels at night? I get spooked just reading them at night - lol

I have loved the Black Winter series and just ordered the last book! I have really enjoyed this. Will you be writing more series like this? And did you plan on writing a series or did the ideas progress? Thank you : )
