It's inevitable that we'll all be writing scenes of tension -- in our case, extreme fright. And extreme fright is an emotion that's ... well ... EXTREMELY...
OK, so what's the latest on "Spider-Man 2"? Has anyone seen it? I hear it's getting not just good reviews, but terrific reviews. I'll probably go see it this...
It gets released over here tomorrow. I'll catch the late show. Richard Lee www.writer113.com The Evil is coming "When Richard Lee writes, all horror fans...
My wife and kids loved it. And it is good but I'm getting tired of the comic book movies. Too many heroes and Hallmark philosophies. I did like the fact that...

Hi All, I see why our distinguished leader, Mr. Stone, expressed some dismay over the lack of posts recently. It seems to me that he has been making great...
Why SBS, you are a....uhmm, a complete....uhm. Damn, I think I agree with everything you said. That pretty much puts it into a nuthsell. Don't care so much...
Caught Spidey2 yesterday and enjoyed it. I think it surpassed the original. The bad guy was a complex character, the love interest between Tobey Maguire and...
Many of us are horror writers, which means it's our mission as such to "tap the vein" of what scares people. I feel this is a mission most horror writers are...
Not writing related but what the heck. I spent a bunch of time in doctors' offices this week. Got my tooth fixed Tuesday and it was not as much fun as I'd...
Dear group, I cant help feeling that there is a contradiction between the points of view eloquently expressed by SBS. First there is the congratulations of the...
Speaking of things which really scare me. As a father, most things scary to me involve something bad happening to my children. As far as movies that scare me,...
I think one of the problems with wiritng horror today is simply what scared
people ten years ago would not even make them bat an eylid today - the
scariest...
That's an interesting viewpoint, SBS, and I agree with a lot of what you said. Believe me, the definition of "professional" has haunted both HWA and SFWA for a...

Simon, Very well put. I have to agree with you and I think that is the one thing that keeps me from signing up with HWA. I write for many personal reasons,...

I began via POD and I'm sorry to tell you that it's not a happy experience. You might get copies of your book in a few local book stores, but that can be like...
I have to say it depends upon the publisher you pick. I've had good luck in selling my books, all are POD's. You have to be willing to go the extra mile in...
