I'm writing a Horror book probably...

What scares you? Vampires? Ghosts?

That would be awesome 😃 Ghosts are pretty scary to me. I love anything that has to do with vampires too because they’re cool :P

Great! I used the image of Night of The Living Dummy as when I was a kid and read that, changed my life. So that's something that got to me back then, unfortunately I can only write about what inspires me now... and a living dummy is kind of... ridiculous. So this book will probably go more toward... stuff that terrifies adults.

I loved the Goosebumps show when I was a kid. I didn’t really read the books but it was still creepy. But anyway, you do you. I’ll still read it no matter what it’s about :)

Psychological, like The Shining, A Quiet Place or honestly? Even Cosmic/body/psychological/Sci-fi horror like the Alien franchise or The Mist. Anything that makes your skin raise because of how vividly you're able to comprehend it or how mentally invasive the text feels.

Nice.

I'm probably going to make it an extremely deep, complex story involving numerous parties... I want to make it a challenge. I know my mind is capable of some... original stuff. We'll see how it goes.

Sounds interesting! I look forward to reading it.

The idea is to write the first chapter today... but that's a big ask considering I have to generate an entire world and characters in my head first --- when I did books in the past, I had "concepts" but, I feel like if I understand the whole world first, I'll be much better off when already knowing the, not just one, but many directions in the future.

I’m not really Afraid of stuff like that just afraid of being completely alone, is that a valid fear?

Alone with the ghosts etc. Common.

Alone, meaning out of a relationship, common.

Alone, just without people around you at all times? I don't know.

I’m afraid of not having anybody at all doesn’t matter who that is.

Without someone to care for, I would not exist.

Yeah writing books takes time, especially if you want to have a really good story. It’s better to plan out how you want the story to go. Same goes for the characters.

I've written characters and forgotten what they look like... even voiced them, and forgot what they sounded like... lol... it's a process I need to improve.

I physically can't function as a human being if I'm alone in my apartment. It terrifies me. I have such a strong fear that someone will try to kidnap me or break into my house. (Past traumas).

The fear definitely exists! I'm not sure if it's common though

I'm that anxious I'll start to believe the fish are trying to get me 🤣🤣

Update: Probably going to release the text version on here and the audio version on a streaming platform somewhere… basically prioritize distribution over immediate profit but we’ll see.

You know what scares me? Reincarnation. The idea that we get shoved down here on a 'mission', get our memories wiped, and shoved back out again. Wash, rinse, cosmic repeat.

Can't wait for the book! 💜

Reincarnation as a horror concept is pretty damn unsettling. That endless loop with no memory? It’s like cosmic Groundhog Day for your soul, but way less funny. It makes you wonder if anything we do really sticks or if it’s all just noise in the void. Definitely fertile ground for a story that messes with your head.

You're going to give me another existential crisis.
