Muse Unleashed!

5/18/2015

As a writer, I sometimes get these little stories that hit me out of the blue demanding to be written. Most of the time I silence them, this time they threatened me with death by chocolate. I thought there were three tales  in these lunchtime horror shorts, but no, book four demanded its right to exist and the Snickers bar was looking pretty good. I decided writing was better than eating and there were just a couple of shorts to work through, so I gave it a shot.  I thought, this is easy peasy.

Not.

As I complained before, self-publishing is HARD work.

Once book four started brandishing chocolate, I knew I was done for. I had to go back and redo the inside of each short to reflect each story and then I had to add what book cover belongs to which story. I won't even tell you how many times I published and republished each short with and without the proper cover, but I know the answer is  in cyberspace waiting to trounce me when I'm not looking.

If you are a Crohnie like me, these little shorts are perfect for an episode and they are free. You can even read them on your iPhone or Android right here or copy and paste this into your browser: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/LouannCarroll

The fun thing about these horror shorts is I just let them flow. They went through my fingers and out into the typewriter. I did minimal editing, as I've said I am a writer not an editor, but did make sure the stories sounded right. It was a fun experiment in automatic writing and I really am anxious to hear what you think. 

Now it's back to work on Gemini three and I've told my muse not to bother me until it is done.

(((hugs)))
