The Extremities:

The hermit has an extremely difficult time stepping out of the cozy dark cave where it resides. The day dreamer and creative has a hunger and desire to share their creations with the world. These two are in constant fights within me.

For years, the hermit was winning but the creative was hard at work. Unfortunately, staying in a dark cave everyday doesn’t provide for the necessities of life. So, my hermit self had to find employment. minimum wage job after minimum wage job left me feeling down and lost.

My creative side sought release from such feelings. It was done through artistic pursues of drawing, photography, and, of course, writing. Soon I found myself with a long back log of ideas and many unfinished story drafts. Yet the dread of continuing to work as a grunt in the corporate world was eating away at me physically and mentally. Even the joy of creation started to suffer.

I needed to get out. I also needed to support myself. I needed something I know I could enjoy doing for the rest of my life. The hobby that persisted the most was writing. And soon, the day dreamer hoped for the time that my stories could reach out to others who felt similar.

That’s where I am right now. Still working at minimum wage job, still coming up with new ideas, and still dreaming. But this is also where things change and the reasoning for my website and blog. I want to share my journey from grunt to a published author.

We’ve all heard stories of others who made it. And we can too. We just need to stay dedicated and persistent. This is my way of doing it and holding myself accountable in front of as many people as possible.

The Arteries:

So, what else will this blog be focusing on? Well, the strange. The unknown. The weird. The dark. The terrifying. In, essence, horror.

The horror genre is a loving parasitic worm living in my cold dead heart. It gives me creeping chills and just the right dose of paranoia. It makes me feel alive. Something that other genres don’t for me.

With the many different types and mediums of horror, there is a lot to explore, analyze and discuss. I want to write about as many aspects of horror while producing and contributing to the genre myself.

If you’re a darkling or just enjoy the genre, then please stick around. I would love to heard your ideas and thoughts on the vast black hole that is horror.
