I love you right back! My only regret is that it took me this long to finally comment on one of your articles. Your struggles to stay organized, handle having the Spawn at home while you work, continue moving forward with your writing and blogging, balancing the life of a writer, wife, and mother…I relate to all of that so deeply. Knowing there is someone out there who shares the same struggles makes it easier to stay on the path. To be honest, even when it’s crazy I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 🙂 Have a great day!

I’ve had a week similar to what you described. I’m currently waiting for news about a family member who likely has cancer, and yes, our AC flooded a room in our house too. Reading your blog helped me calm down and realize I’m not alone. I hope things get better for you! I also really enjoy all your blog posts.

Didn’t know about you until the Tucson Festival of Books March 2014. Your workshop with Piper was one of the best ones I attended and have since read your book cover to cover. Now, to your blog. a) Take pride in the Spawn for being different – he was kicked out for being mean – just for being an individual (I have three kids, and one of the boys was a real pistol – trust me. He’s going to be your go-getter, non-conformist Star; b) been through funerals, sick kids and dementia. At a truly low moment – someone gave me this phrase, which is now framed in my house: The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. Peace. (If you ever want to swap boy stories email – I’ve got some doozies.)

Just leave it. People like more than one thing. I am a Christian (GASP) and attend church three times a week and do mission trips and MY FAVE GENRE is HORROR! Also, they might have friends or colleagues who like horror. Don’t sacrifice that word-of-mouth. Just keep pressing. If people don’t like horror, they will move on, but if they do? They will think of you :D. SO HAPPY you are liking ROM.

Loving it! I am dying to ask a question about building a platform, but am not sure this is the right place. I’ll try you anyway 🙂 All of my 700 facebook friends are either into spiritual development and meditation etc, as am I, or have children and really nice families, but I write horror!!! I don’t feel like I can easily convince this crowd to support me in that endeavour lol, so I’m not pushing it. I feel like I have to start from scratch in building my platform. Do you have any suggestions about how to go about that? Does it really matter if my current contacts are not the best people to reach out to in order to start gaining a bit of an audience? I am here for them, but it seems so inappropriate to ask them to consider horror 🙂 I’d love to hear back and thanks again for the book. Maybe you will explain some of this later in the book. Warmest wishes Kym Darkly

In the meantime, I’m girding my loins and my book idea for the knife.
