Spookiness
Spookiness Traci Kenworth It’s almost that time. Kids and adults getting dressed up in costumes. Apple cider and donuts. Walking through the chilly night to receive Tricks or Treats. I’ll be missing all this, this year as the kids have outgrown Trick or Treating but I still have fond memories […]
Finding My Way between Genres
Finding My Way between Genres Traci Kenworth I know I’ve said I write scary before, but it occurred to me recently that I also bring in the whole world-building of fantasy as well. I find myself teetering between genres. My stories definitely have all the horror elements but the world […]
Hybrids
Hybrids Traci Kenworth Hybrids seem to be popular right now. In fiction, in writing, in life. We all want to be more than we are, more than what we were. The constant deal of always stretching into a new role or area can sometimes be fun and sometimes frustrating. I […]
Relationships in Horror
Relationships are Key to Horror Traci Kenworth For me, when writing horror, the relationships are the key. The ones between your characters and, most importantly, the reader. Because if the reader doesn’t care what happens to them, then the book’s just going to be tossed aside or deteriorate on the shelves. So how do […]
When the Muse strikes…
When the Muse Strikes… Traci Kenworth Often, if you’re like me, the Muse strikes whenever it wants to. Sometimes, it’s convenient, sometimes not but if you’re a writer, you learn to deal. Do I lose some fragments of ideas when I’m driving or at the doctor’s office? Sure. It happens, […]
Scary…to me
Scary…to Me Traci Kenworth I considered many ways to write this blog but I couldn’t quite pinpoint what I wanted to say. We can define horror in many ways: evil, savage, beastly, to name a few. The fact of the matter is, the types are endless. When I write scary stories, it’s not to […]
Procrastinating…and the details
Procrastinating…and the details Traci Kenworth Procrastination has been a serious wrench in my editing/rewriting as of late. Doubts sometimes creep in when we’re working on a project and this was no exception. Not misgivings about the story, but, well, me as a writer. Around me, I’ve watched others moving on […]
The Future of Book Reviews on This Blog
The Future of Book Reviews on This Blog Traci Kenworth For some time I’ve been thinking about these book reviews and whether they take the blog in the direction I want it to go. I’ve decided that they don’t. This doesn’t mean I’m giving up on reading books or the […]
Update Feb. 7, 2013
Update Feb. 7, 2013 Traci Kenworth I’m still in the editing/rewriting stages on my wip. Although it may not seem like I’m making much progress (it feels like it’s been forever doing this), truly I am. My story has undergone such changes that will make it better, stronger, hopefully more […]
