Quick Tips on Writing Horror

Learn the body language of fear.

Consider the thoughts your character would go through when something horrible goes down.

You want what happens to be terrifying, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be horrible. What I mean by that is you can have a scene that’s scary, but in that scene, no one dies or gets hurt.

Give your readers a break from horror every now and then. This should go for every genre, and a great way to do it is by making sub-plots.

Make it realistic. Even if it’s about the zombie apocalypse, or something that can’t actually happen. The supernatural has it’s own set of rules, and you need to ensure that the story isn’t so far-fetched that it makes no sense.

Don’t add anything for shock value. Readers notice when you’re trying to be edgy.

Give your character something to lose. Gore and violence aren’t as terrifying to read as knowing your character can lose everything they love at any moment.

Get the reader invested in the character.

You want the reader to have questions, but don’t want them to be confused. So don’t reveal everything too soon, but don’t reveal too little. This will help add suspense

Learn how humans react in terrifying situations

Consider having your character think and act irrationally

And if you really wanna have fun, consider having your character slowly descend into madness

i cannot get over at this newsstory. i CANNOT. i cannot believe that they paid someone to write a story about how people aren’t having children in the middle of a global pandemic that cost MILLIONS of people their jobs. this is the stupidest fucking thing i’ve ever seen!! do they think people are just sitting at home like “well can’t find any new series to binge, might as well have a fucking baby! that’s the next logical step, right?” i’m going to SCREAM.

If you believe in peace, act peacefully ; if you believe in love, acting lovingly ; if you believe every which way, then act every which way, that's perfectly valid — but don't go out trying to sell your beliefs to the system. You end up contradicting what you profess to believe in, and you set a bum example. If you want to change the world, change yourself.

When people take the accountability away from women and decide to place the blame on men like nearly most of the Modern Western Feminists™ for literally ALL of their problems, then they aren’t empowering women; what they are doing is basically relegate women to a victimhood, helpless position and make men have power over them by not holding women accountable for a damn thing. Ironic, isn’t it? 🤔

“Though labor is forced to take on the form of a commodity, it is not a true commodity but a pseudocommodity (Storper and Walker, 1983). Despite this distinction, a central feature of capitalist labor markets is the subordination of labor to the discipline of market regulation. The clash between market discipline and the social foundations of labor renders the capitalist labor market a ‘satanic mill’ (Polyani, 1944). The ever-present danger in capitalist labor markets- which usually manifests itself during times or in places in which labor’s bargaining position is weakened- is that labor will be reduced to the status of a mere commodity… As theorized by Offe (1985), the problematic relationship between labor and labor markets produces a number of contradictions. From the perspective of neoclassical economics these contradictions tend to be interpreted as failures of the labor market. Orthodox notions of labor market failure convey the impression that such problems (for example, ruptures in skill formation or the persistence of mass unemployment) are in a sense periodic breakdowns within a broadly functional economic system. They are analyzed in terms of disrupted equilibrium, i.e., as a temporary departure from business as usual where supply and demand are in harmony (see Ebert and Stone, 1992). Here, and in contrast, the failure of labor markets is viewed as systemic. The contradictions of capitalist labor markets are deep-seated and ultimately 'resolvable’ only in terms of temporary institutional containment. The institutional fabric of the labor market, while essential to its continued functioning, does not fully resolve its underlying contradictions, which are logically (though not historically) prior to institutional responses. Institutional responses are just that: responses. Rarely if ever do they provide absolute solutions to regulatory dilemmas. Rather, the process of labor regulation is continuous and imperfect. Historically, 'regulation and markets grew up together’ (Polyani, 1944, p. 68). Thus, the 'free’ labor market was not an historical predecessor to the regulated labor market: instead labor market problems and their putative regulatory solutions evolved together through a process of iterative and dynamic development.”

Honestly I'm pretty disappointed in you for even trying weed but like, a stranger's opinion doesn't matter I guess

You’re right, it’s obnoxious and unnecessary and kind of hilarious that you feel the need to chastise me like you’re my disapproving parent. Relax. Grow some decorum.
