I don't consider myself to be a 'writer' in the classic sense of the word. My mechanics need some serious overhauling; my vocabulary is rusty. I DO consider myself to be a storyteller. I believe that there is a difference between a writer and a storyteller. Don't ask me to explain it, I just do The 3 greatest storytellers in my life: Ray Bradbury Steven King My Grandfather, R W Newsome My grandfather could weave a story so good, you could feel what was happening ELS |
FYI - yes, I do lean towards horror and the unknown. But I have found out that what can really send a chill up the spine is telling a story of what could happen (real people/situations). I ask you what seems more frightening: an imaginary creature...or the quiet old man down the street that is actually a killer? ELS |
Trying to work on some new ideas for stories. Horror and the unknown appeal to me...not sure if it is some kind of catharsis to clear out my dark side or something else. I have some good ideas; just running into the typical trouble of making something out of smoke....stay tuned, freedom fighters |
