    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.

    I love horror stories and generally the only thing I read 😁

    If you're ever interested, tell me what kinda horror you prefer and I can set you up with a short story or two!

    Interested in all..

    Well, I don't like to brag, but I have been practicing since I was a child. :)

    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!!

    Look at all the talent we have here....skater/curler, dancer, writer...
    Then there's me.....lol

    Right now my only talent seems to be how many girl scout cookies I can eat. :|

    Not to brag, but I'm pretty good in the cookie-eating arena as well. I definitely hold my own (and probably someone else's, too)

    I'm not exaggerating, I have a *lot*. I was very prolific early on, cranked out a LOT of short stories. Do you have any type of favorites? Monsters, ghosts, whatever, etc?

    Bill is speaking universal truths tonight. I’m on Team Food.

    Jo, I’ll hit you up tomorrow for a good way to send you a story. I have an old one in mind, a little rough around the edges but aren’t they all :)

    Nice. It's so fun when you can repurpose something you made

    I learned about repurposing when I was away at school...couldn't afford to waste anything
