Writing Update

On January 4, 2021December 14, 2020 By Jennifer Mugrage

So now I find myself writing a horror story.

Well, horror-ish.

I didn’t plan things this way. I guess it’s what I get for writing about The Great Snake. I mean, did I expect it to be nice?

So, just a warning to anyone who is planning to read all the way through my trilogy … it’s heading in a sort of horror direction. Sorry if that’s not your thing.

  Perhaps this will counterbalance the Times New Roman problem.

    Ha, ha. It would! Did you research horror overnight and become an expert like I did with rally cars? 🤣🤣 I only say this, because it was a meme that I saw, let me see if I can find it, Yep, here it is:

And here I was, getting all ready to break my rule about not reading books of people I know. And you have to go and do this. Well, that does it. You’re off my list!

Great meme, SD. Reminds me of that scene from Phenomenon:
“You learned Portuguese in 10 minutes?”
“…Well, not all of it.”

Nope, I would not say I’m a horror expert. But there is at least 1 scene in TGS that I felt the need to warn my readers of more tender sensibilities about.

You’re in good company. The Space Trilogy also sort of turns into horror for the last book. Also, you know, the Bible.

  Ha ha that is true! Although I kind of feel that the Bible peaks in the Old Testament, horror-wise.

    But Revelation picks up all of the Old Testament judgements and makes them worse…

      Yeh, but’s kind of abstract.
      I feel like, if Revelation is the Kilimanjaro of horror, then the book of Judges is the Himalayas.
