As a small-time witer with only a couple of micro press books under my belt, it's tough to know who to ask for help and where to find support. As I've grown in the horror community (a little, anyway), I have come to really appreciate the small handful of authors (and editors and agents) who are kind enough to give me even a couple of minutes of their time. It really means a lot, and I think it speaks volumes about people. Authors here who have supported me and invested your time in my work, thank you. (In particular, Max Booth III and Richard Thomas - those guys are wonderful human beings and amazing writers [buy their books!].) Be kind to others in the writing community - you can't do this alone. And you are all special snowflakes. ;-)

The horror community has always been awesome. We are a relatively small genre, but a good one.

I used to be part of the horror community, until it was brought up by a beta my work seemed more like really really dark science fiction. (Bare in mind, this was before I switched to fiction that was somewhere in between science fiction and fantasy.)

But horror is still a best buddy.

The bots sometimes communicate with each other. There's been some concern that it might be a sign of skynet's existence.

Whoa... I've never seen four bots in a row talking to one another. Skynet indeed, the revolution beings and nobody (of note) takes notice...

And look! Another two-fer! They're taking over the internet! And the world!!!

Fixed. Feel free to message me when you see this crap. I only have three eyes, and they can't be everywhere at once.

I'd hate to be a Marty McFly on the wall. Wait wrong movie. I think he'd be terrified at the Terminator. DC/Marvel cross-over time.
