Yeah, I definitely use graphic description in some stories. It can provide a good "punch" sometimes, though the one story I had that was published and able to be submitted to "the best hardcore horror" anthology for 2018 received a rejection because it wasn't hardcore ENOUGH.
I guess I'd really have to take it to "plaid" if I wanted to get into something like that, dang0 -
Omg how do people read that?!?!?

I dunno, it's just a thing I guess! I know my brain is wired weird...stuff that a lotta people find to be disturbing, it doesn't bother me in the same way. I definitely feel, just about very specific things, and not always the way others do. Then again, acclimation has a lot to do with it too. That's one of the reasons I hesitate to push my stuff on people, cause I really don't know where they are and I don't trust my own sense of what is "disturbing" to the general populace anymore.0

So do you publish your stuff on special horror fiction sites? Is it your job... Writing?
We won curling. We all played super well1 -

I love horror stories and generally the only thing I read 😁1 -
See, maybe @burlygirl91 was right and you're better than you realized, look at that!
Writing is just a hobby for me. My career probably pays better than writing ever would unless I hit "everything he writes ends up being a bestseller because of his rabid fandom" status which I'm not holding out for, heheh.
I have some stuff in some anthologies, a few things I put out there on my own. Nothing regular, like a blog or a column or anything.
Here's my Soundcloud page, I posted it before on the "voice" thread in the Chit-Chat forums but I'll just link to everything there. Hopefully none of it is too graphic? They're all short, probably not all horror. You can always turn them off or not listen, I won't be offended. The best thing about submitting writing for publication is that you build a thick skin pretty stinkin fast!!

Have you tried ice skating before? I tried it once not long ago and spent the entire time thinking I was going to get seriously injured. I was terrible at it. I'd definitely say it's a talent.0 -
