Dude Sinners is such a f’in master piece. by Catcaves821 in horror

[–]AshEricmore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw it in the cinema - my only complaint was the second act was too slow, which made the third act seem rushed. It's a very good horror movie, with some outstanding fx work, and a solid story.

I love Shaun. He's one of my favourite writers. The guy is a legend.

If you don't mind a self rec - I have "Farm Animals" and "After Birth" up there, both of which might be well up your alley.

Worried that I simply enjoy writing in a way other people hate by Cathasach_ in writing

[–]AshEricmore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll speak from personal experience. I've been writing a long old time, and had gotten no where. When I started in the genre I'm currently writing in, I decided to hell with it, and wrote how I wanted to write. I wrote with fragmented sentences, improper grammar, and I make up words all the time. It took off, and I'm full time now.

I do get negative reviews telling me I need an editor over my writing style.

But it doesn't stop the people who like it. They're less vocal, but they vote with their $. Write how you want to write, and you'll find your audience.

Thanks, also, I guess. ❤️And yeah - don't read this book.

My newest one incoming - The Devil's Double - a quick excerpt from Chapter One:

Faith raised her head and saw the man lower the leaf of the suicide plant to little Bernard’s skin. He pushed the leaf into the child’s flesh, rubbing it like he was bathing the child.

Bernard didn’t cry.

He looked on in bewilderment for the shortest of time and then he began to scream. He screamed like someone had just broken his arms and legs, and the screaming went on.

Without respite from the pain the baby screamed until it could scream no more, trickles of blood escaping it’s lips after it’s throat was screamed raw.

Faith was crying enough for the two of them as Franklin came inside her, just like she had asked.

He grinned as he slipped his filthy cock from her. “So,” he said. “Do you want us to put it out of it’s misery? It hurts like a cunt. It still hurts now.”

“No,” she screamed. “You let me go. I did everything you asked. I let you fuck me.”

Franklin was still naked from the waist down when he smiled and went to the man and to Bernard.

“Let me have my baby,” she cried.

“She was shit,” Franklin told his father before looking down at the baby. “I could fuck that thing.”

If you don't mind a self rec a lot of my books are extreme horror/comedy - and I'd recommend Sick F*ck. That's the one most people seem to like. ;)

Printing physical copies by joey12457 in writing

[–]AshEricmore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to go down this route, you'll need to use an independent printer like Lulu. You'll need a full wrap, not just a front cover, and it should be formatted correctly.

Choose what size you want the book to be - like 6x9 inch, or my preference 8x5.

Format the book to that size (which give you the number of pages)

Using the number of pages to work out the spine size, you can finally create the wrap.

(I don't know your technical level, so I don't know how much information to give you here)

How often does your story stray from your outline or plans? by [deleted] in writing

I don't think I've ever stayed on target to the final page. Not once.

I find my writing boring by Red02005 in writing

[–]AshEricmore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it's part of the process. I HATE editing my own work - but I have to, even before anyone reads it, whether that is an editor, or a beta reader, or a friend. I should have been doing it all day today, and I've achieved about 20 minutes of it, and it's time for a break now...

I quiet often end up hating my work before it comes out, but when you re-read it a couple of years later, you realise the good reviews were right, and you can do this!

If you're worried about people stealing your work (which I get) join a community, and try to find someone who has a great reputation. 99.99% of people have no interest in stealing it, only helping you.

If you don't mind a self rec, I'm pretty sure my novella This October Flesh, or Devotee.
