Thankful for…
Thankful for… Traci Kenworth Today, I just wanted to give a shout out to those who’ve helped me along the way. Sometimes we don’t take the time to say how much we appreciate other’s help and this is my way on reflecting that I need to do so, with coming […]
There’s Trees Out There, But What Else?
There’s Trees Out There, But What Else? Traci Kenworth Sometimes it’s hard to decide what should be in your stories. A hidden brook? An enchanted forest? Elves? All can be fun and yet, just as discouraging. You don’t quite want to bring someone else’s tales to life. You want different. Unique. Where to begin? […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
