Do you remember how it came about? Nine years ago, I critiqued a horror short story by a better writer than I. He thought my comments were so helpful, he suggested I try writing horror.I thanked him, basked in his generosity for a while, and privately dismissed the idea at first. But it wouldn't let go of me. So I asked, what is most horrific? Being eaten, not necessarily alive.Using that idea, I wrote the first chapter of my current WIP as a 3.5k-word short story for Pseudopod. The editor said I "hit all the right beats for horror (on several different levels)," and almost bought it, but passed because it was just too weird.Now, it's a decent novel I'm editing per critique comments. Will it sell? My plan is to find out later this year.#amWritingSciFi #horror #sciFi]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/84e0b003-3ddb-44bd-a2e7-1a39085ca16f/scribesandmakers-7-may-when-did-you-think-of-the-idea-for-your-current-project</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/84e0b003-3ddb-44bd-a2e7-1a39085ca16f/scribesandmakers-7-may-when-did-you-think-of-the-idea-for-your-current-project</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[rnf@mindly.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
