No Ordinary Contest

Although I’ve entered many writing contests before, this is the first time I’ve ventured into writing a story in the horror genre. After my recent trip to Maine, I felt inspired to give it a go. Not that Maine was scary. Quite the opposite. However, I did encounter certain situations that helped me understand why I enjoy Stephen King novels so much. The quirkiest things happened: someone staring at me for longer than a minute, a person seemingly vanishing from a car when light illuminated the front seat, being caught in a thunderstorm near a small dirt path. You get the idea. Lots of fodder for future stories. I can hardly wait to see how this story does.

  1. Greetings! I’ve been following your site for some time now
    and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a
    shout out from Lubbock Tx! Just wanted to mention keep
    up the excellent job!

  2. Admiring the commitment you put into your site and in depth information you present.
    It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old
    rehashed material. Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to
    my Google account.

  3. May I simply say what a relief to discover someone who genuinely understands what
    they are discussing on the internet. You certainly understand how to
    bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people should look
    at this and understand this side of your story.

    I can’t believe you aren’t more popular because you most certainly have the gift.

  4. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire
    someone to do it for you? Plz answer back as I’m looking to create my own blog and would
    like to know where u got this from. thanks a lot

  5. First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if
    you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center
    yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.

    I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.

    I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost
    simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
    Many thanks!

    1. Thanks for stopping by. Prayer to the one who gave me the ability to write helps a ton. Taking walks or listening to music helps as well. Best wishes on your writing journey.
