This guy looks like something that crawled out of The Darwin Pool. The Darwin Pool is what my friend and I call a tide pool at the ocean with weird looking sea life in it, like an albino tadpole looking thing or a creepy piranha with legs like our friend in the picture. So howContinue reading “#Writober Day 20: The Darwin Pool”

#Writober Day 19: The Blob
When this thing fist appeared on the ramp, I could not get my head around what it could possibly be. When I walked up to it, I thought it was a horrifying clump of eggs. But then I did some research. It is a colony of pectinatella magnifica. I wrote a post back in 2015Continue reading “#Writober Day 19: The Blob”
#Writober Day 18: The Uni-Pega-Monkey
Of course, this image makes me think of The Wizard of Oz, the most horrifying nightmare of them all, pushed on young children as some joyous fantasy. Tornadoes and Kansas are real, you crazy adults! But this monkey is even worse than what that every-holiday haunting movie professes. This monkey is horned. Is it uniqueContinue reading “#Writober Day 18: The Uni-Pega-Monkey”
#Writober Day 16: Shiny, Shiny Lure
I love the concept of this image, a creature that evolved to trap its prey by appealing to their impulse to help someone. Kind of like the Ted Bundy of water monsters. This image makes me think of Jaws. It also makes me think of the angler fish in Finding Nemo. The monster looks likeContinue reading “#Writober Day 16: Shiny, Shiny Lure”
#Writober Day 15: The Hill Has An Eye
This image, as my title suggests, made me think of the horror classic The Hills Have Eyes. It also makes me think of the wonderful faux documentary Troll Hunter and that super creepy mind-altering underground man-eating mushroom X-files episode Field Trip (Season Six episode 21). How would your character or characters react to coming acrossContinue reading “#Writober Day 15: The Hill Has An Eye”
#Writober Day 11: Shoeless into the storm
This is such a great story image. I have so many questions. Why did this man rush out of the house in the night with only a candle. Why didn’t he put on shoes? How is that candle staying lit? You can see more of Teun Hocks‘s work in his books. #vss: very short storyContinue reading “#Writober Day 11: Shoeless into the storm”
What are you planning for #Writober?
#Writober – a writing and reading extravaganza leading to Halloween September is flying by too quickly. I haven’t even posted my giant Summer reading review yet, but it’s already time to start looking toward October. October is a great time for writing, especially creepy fantasy and horror challenges. I’ve decided to use J.S. Nagy’s challengeContinue reading “What are you planning for #Writober?”
#NaNoPrep – Tips and Tricks
Last year was my first November observing National Novel Writing Month. I had an idea for a novel and had done some research on my topic, but didn’t prepare other than that. I won, but it was really hard and came right down to the wire. If you’re still not sure if NaNoWriMo is rightContinue reading “#NaNoPrep – Tips and Tricks”
