Anxiety is the worst. I know the feelings and scenarios you shared all too well. I'm glad to hear you found a good writing groove, that's exciting to get in a creative flow! Lately I've been branching into horror writing and for someone who is a notorious chicken shit that avoids it at all costs, I'm really kinda liking it haha. Maybe there is something to exploring my fears in a controlled setting!

Yes! Being able to write about my fears in a controlled way helps me understand them a bit more. That’s why I love horror in general. It’s less about the monster and more about what painful emotions they represent. Also, I loved your horror short story Gas Station Carnival. So good!

The painful emotions they represent—so real! And thank you! I had fun testing the waters in the genre, definitely going to continue it!

I felt the same way during Something Bad - it was stressful in a good way!

Yes! And it was one of those shows where I had to binge watch because I needed to know what the hell was going on.
