The Big Reveal!
Hi again. First, I want to thank everyone that gave my website and blog positive comments. I should post more, but I find myself either writing or resting. The reason for resting is to get out of my character’s heads.
Most of my characters are ordinary but are placed in extraordinary situations. If I stay in their heads too long, they may drive me crazy! Now, I see why Stephen King has books and movies about writers where their stories come back to haunt them (think of Misery, The Dark Half, and Secret Window).
I also posted a question long ago under the “Where My Stories Come From” tab. The question refers to a story in the book “It Happens When You’re Alone”, and I asked if anyone can figure out what my fear is.
The Big Reveal is that my fear is in the short story “The Choctaw Elder.” Specifically, it’s the shower scene. I have a closet shower with frosted glass. From inside, you can see if anyone passes in front of it, but you can’t tell who it is. I must admit, that ever since I wrote that story, that fear has retreated. See, writing supernatural horror is therapeutic!
Take care!
