My good buddy Hannah has been spending the month of October celebrating all things horror on her blog, Musings of a Palindrome (so named because her name is a palindrome, not because she thinks she can see Russia from her house). As part of that celebration, she hosted a short story contest (less than 1,000 words) in which she asked for stories in the horror/suspense genre designed to freak her out.
And I won! Wahoo!
Go here to check out my story. I'm totally surprised, as this is probably the first horror story I've ever written (I don't read a lot of horror/suspense, and thus I get very few story ideas in that vein). I was just trying to freak Hannah out, so I'm glad I accomplished that.
And now the new Stephen King book (amongst other goodies) is winging its way to me! Thanks Hannah!
I saw that earlier - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks again Alex!
ReplyDeleteTeebore! That was awesome! You deserved to win. I didn't even know SK had a new book coming out - let us know how it is when you're done!
ReplyDeleteOh and... DON'T HURT MY BABY!
:D
So! Many! Exclamations! Did you know that using excessive exclamation points in a post or email is almost solely a female trait?
I read that in a book!
@Joan: Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that using excessive exclamation points in a post or email is almost solely a female trait?
I did not, though now that you mention it, I can see it.
I have an aggressive hatred of exclamation points in my fiction; ask Hannah or Falen, I'm militant about using them (online, not so much).
No no no, thank YOU!! I will now sent the link to Kelly to seriously freak her out for Halloween!! mu-hahahaha!!
ReplyDelete@Joan- HI! HI! HI!! HI!!!!!!
Can you tell I miss you? Because I do...miss you. I miss your partially decaying face.
