This is Zach Cregger’s approach to first drafts as a screenwriter. It’s called “elfing”. He’s right. ✍🏼

Hello, new followers! I started a writing craft blog in April! https://t.co/MNSYg5u2LF is not exclusively for horror authors, but definitely tends toward genre. I wanted to write about processes and techniques that I struggled to learn earlier in my development as a writer.

[Jes Malitoris (Updates) @JesWrites]

The cover for Best Horror of the Year 18 is HERE!!! It's so kick ass and I'm still flabbergasted that I'm included in its pages.
Pre-order link coming as soon as it's available!

[Jes Malitoris (Updates) @JesWrites]

It is here at last! See you tomorrow ;)

Baby's first scam email!!! Woke up to what seemed to *me* like a blatant scam, but might not be obvious to everyone. So, I wrote a blog post about all the questions you should ask yourself when you receive an email like this one. #Scams #WritingCommunity
