Relationships in Horror
Relationships are Key to Horror Traci Kenworth For me, when writing horror, the relationships are the key. The ones between your characters and, most importantly, the reader.

When the Muse strikes…
When the Muse Strikes… Traci Kenworth Often, if you’re like me, the Muse strikes whenever it wants to. Sometimes, it’s convenient, sometimes not but if you’re a writer, you learn to deal. Do I lose some fragments of ideas when I’m driving or at the doctor’s office? Sure. It happens,…

Where I’m At…
I finished my read-through of my first draft. Monday, I began the slow but necessary process of edits. I’m pretty excited and happy with what I’ve come up with so far. I’ve changed one character from male to female and yesterday, I decided to put her in conflict-mode with the hero. I think this…
