I'm done submitting stories for the weekly contests. Its a black hole that I refuse to take part in any more.
Some of the stories that have won were not as good as the vast majority of the other submissions.
These "contests" were clearly designed to milk money from people.
My stories, whether you love them or hate them... please leave feedback... good, bad, ugly, or indifferent.
I'm 57, a USAF Veteran and an Iowa Army Nation Guard Veteran.
I've loved Greek mythology and playing Dungeons & Dragons since I was a kid.
I love horror films from the classic black & white to the modern age.
I love putting some of my favorite characters from horror, Greek mythology, or the novel I wrote (Sarah, 5 years old, blonde, pigtails, innocent blue eyes) into different situations and seeing how they pan out.
I never have a plan when I write. If something pops into my head and it's sounds completely off the wall, odds are it will find itself on paper.
