The Beast of Ildenwood: Writing Update


 

I've recently updated a batch of chapters for The Beast of Ildenwood that went up on RR but that I never got a chance to share on the blog. Chapters 14-16 are now available right here on the blog!

You may notice that they don't include illustrations. With my participation in NaNoWriMo and the RR Writathon, it's been a bit hard for me to keep up with illustrations. All of my focus is on the challenge, though I'm also doing my best to ensure that updates for The Beast of Ildenwood stay regular - every Sunday. 

In terms of the story itself, I'm happy to report that Chapter 17 should be the last chapter of the first "arc", with Chapter 18 officially starting us off on a new arc. I've got a couple of arc plotted out and I think they're going to be a lot of fun for me to write and illustrate, too!

For new writers who want to dip their toes in the world of writing horror fiction, Scareuary offers a range of different approaches with a month-long focus t

Lit Commentary: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, Chapter 2   🚬 "I can tell by the way he will look lost and puzzled suddenly, all expression dying away from his dear face as though swept clean by an unseen hand, and in its place a mask will form, a sculptured thing, formal and cold, beautiful still but lifeless. He will fall to smoking cigarette after cigarette, not bothering to extinguish them, and the glowing stubs will lie around on the ground like petals. He will talk quickly and eagerly about nothing at all, snatching at any subject as a panacea to pain. I believe there is a theory that men and women emerge finer and stronger after suffering, and that to advance in this or any world we must endure ordeal by fire. This we have done in full measure, ironic though it seems." The protagonist makes an interesting statement with this quote, because I wonder if they aren't more fragile as well. When Maxim remembers, he falls into
