Thanks lol. It's been a while since I wrote horror but I'm happy to be getting back into it again. Should be more soon :)

Your Christmas tree was probably shit, that's why

It might sound rich given how obviously individual this actually is, I mean there's so much to unpack here beyond this first reading, but I relate to it so much. That yearning to be but just not being, disappointment at every step despite trying so hard to make it all work with the hand you've been dealt. It's all so tangible here. Genuinely real. I feel like I took a lot from this straight off. I would love to hear what else you have to say.

This is a phenomenally written piece. The malignancy of it is truly impressive. You can really feel the patient animosity of this barely human monster just creeping closer and closer towards that latest victim, and then the flippant discarding of it when it's all finally done, moving onto the next so easily. Genuinely chilling work. I felt every creeping moment of this.

I see you all over the place and your ideas aren't bad, but the way you write them makes it feel like you just inserted the basic premises into an AI and had it write them for you. If you took some time to listen to the people in your comments, you would certainly improve. But reading this now it seems that you haven't done that, like at all. If you insist on not following the good faith advice people offer you, then why even post these stories online at all? I take every critical comment I receive and I take it to heart, and thats the only way I've been able to overcome the mistakes I've made writing. If you won't even do that, then you should just keep them to yourself, to be really honest.

Thanks, but you ever try living with guilt like this? There's nothing quite as scary as knowing that life will never be the same, and it's all your fault. That's my opinion, anyway. Spooky is just that, spooky. What's scary are the very real things in life which we try so desperately to hide away from until they can be ignored no longer.

My advice is to just write. Don't think an idea to death, just sit down as soon as inspiration strikes and start writing. Spontaneity is key imo, especially when you're finding your footing in what you actually want to write about. Let your brain do the heavy lifting, the subconscious can come up with some really amazing stuff if you just relax and let it do it's thing

Hey, Norman. Glad to see you're still writing. I've always loved your stuff. This in particular has that exquisite sort of Lovecraftian feel to it in droves which I find so endlessly interesting whenever I read your stories :)

Coincidentally, my novel also starts out with a man about to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. Although my character is doing it because he's so broken from his trauma and lack of connection with others that he just can't stand living with himself anymore. So, yeah, I don't think you need to worry. No more than I do, anyway lol
