How I've been wasting my time

Rowan — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:53:26 +0000

Recently, I have been writing, I assure you. I have however been busy with school and most of the writing I have been doing is working on a novel. The odd teaser snippet might be added to the site if the fans so wish it, so if you want to see what I've been working on recently just tell me in the comments.

However, not only have I been busy with real life, I have been wasting my time with videos from the YouTube channel Daywalt Fear Factory. They're a really good way to kill time if you're bored and you want a start. They aren't really blood 'n' guts 'n' gore all the time, but some can be a little bit bloody. Mostly it's a mix of cerebral horror and jump-out-get-you-oh-no! Which are my favorite ways to get scared. Hope you enjoy these! Might I suggest saving a few for Halloween?

Their YouTube channel is here.

Wishing Star

Starlight, star bright,
Streak across the canvas of deep black,
So high up as you light up the night,
Don't go away, please come back.

The Guardian

A dark and crushing force known as the Depression had swept across America. Saul Goodwinter was beyond thankful to have his job and his house. He had a wife, a new girl barely five months old and a cozy new promotion. That promotion was well earned, too. A few months of having to take houses and belongings and he was able to keep his own. Saul delighted in that exchange. The economy, or lack thereof, had turned him into a ravenous shark.

Where do we go,
When our hearts cease,
What happens,
After that final beat.

Bound to the world,
Or to be in the great above.

Will we know we are dead,
Will we know we are remembered,
Or shall we forget all we knew.

What happens to the dead?

The Top 10 Creepiest Moments from Children's Movies

You know, our childhood was already a little weird. Talking animals and inanimate objects were an unquestioned constant and the plots always wind up making adults scratch their heads. It's when the people making children's media try and be a little scary we have a problem.

Voice Box

“Momma?”

Claire looked down at the source of the tiny voice. She smiled and stroked her daughter's hair. Tessie stared up at her, unblinking and expressionless.

“What is it sweetie?” Claire asked. She had never seen her daughter have such a blank look before.

“What's a voice box?” Tessie responded , voice quiet.

Collaboration Sting

You and a friend have an idea for a story. You have an idea for dialogue, they an idea for a bit of plot. You two start to write and you have a blast. You're both thinking “OHMIGAWD THIS STORY IS GONNA BE SO, SO, SO COOL!!” Ideas are exchanged, critiques are given. It's a nice environment for you and your friend to bond, right? You show it to some friends or family, both of you, and they like it. Then, the friend asks you if it's okay for them to share the story with other people. You jokingly remind them to not hog all the glory. But, sort of not jokingly. If you're a serious writer, that story is something you slaved over, you just had extra help, input and ideas writing this story.
