I laughed because it’s fiction and has nothing to do with me as a person. I usually find dark writing humorous! This is such a simple little poem, but it did come from the heart.

Oh yeah, I can’t write specifically in one genre, so I don’t think about it. I just write by instinct.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, my influences seem a little conflicting, I think I’m still struggling to settle into the right genre/style.

I’ve never been to a writers group but I would’ve been very uncomfortable in that situation, too. I think that plots can be reused, as every writer approaches it differently and with unique writing styles. You must’ve been annoyed.

I love that your the first person to associate my writing with words like “bright” and “positivity!” Nice work with “Crypt of Suffocation” and “My Blood Red” – “burn in my tinctured scarlet, razor shredded” – simply memorable!

My grandmother was a writer and I have found myself over the last couple of days drifting around to different sites of those that enjoy sharing wonderful words such as this.
