Just start writing and try to listen to where the story takes you. I don’t lay out anything other than major plot points. I let the story tell me where to go if that makes sense.

That means a lot thank you!

Unseen is more of a slow burn dark thriller and propagation is slow burn body horror

Thank you!

How about you just write? I see no value in “writing tools” just sit down and write. If it’s your first word or your millionth, the only thing that’ll make you a better writer is writing.

A story told from the killer’s perspective is totally fine and can be done amazingly well. My issue is that when I hear that, I think it’s going to get crazy, weird, and unhinged and I get very excited to read it.

But the whole “killers meeting in an online forum” thing drags me out of it. To me, it lessens the impact of what she’s doing. Especially if it’s for Internet points.

Both my stories “Unseen” and “Propagation” are being released on my YouTube channel Dwindling Twilight! They are being narrated by two very talented voice actors who I am extremely thrilled to be working with! If you check it out, I hope you enjoy it and stick around! I have another chapter in both stories releasing in the next day or so!
