My goal this year is to actually focus on more prose, which includes editing that thesis novel again. Sara: Oh yes! I wrote a horror/dark fantasy novel for my MFA thesis and have been writing more short stories over the past two or three years. How does your mind focus over to writing longer lengths? Is it challenging? Or maybe writing poetry helps your prose? I have dozens of individual poems out there in publications too such as Abyss & Apex, The Sunlight Press, Twisted Moon Mag, and the HWA Poetry Showcase!Įrin: You have published your two poetry books, The Devil’s Dreamland most recently, and obviously enjoy writing poetry, but with an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction, you must dabble in writing horror short stories or novels as well. My two poetry collections are Love For Slaughter and The Devil’s Dreamland: Poetry Inspired by H.H. Cultivating that love stemmed from having great mentors, peers, and friends who helped me edit, revise, and strengthen my craft. Since then, I have continued to deeply love reading and writing poetry. My angsty, broken poetry was my outlet for the emotions I never talked about, but I never realized it was something I could hone and even publish until my undergraduate studies in college.
I started dabbling with poetry in middle school after reading Edgar Allan Poe for the first time, and also as catharsis for dealing with middle school in general, especially after my dad passed away when I was twelve. for them to create a foundation about who you are… I’m excited to pick your brain (very gently of course)! Let’s begin.Įrin: Tell the readership a little about your background, your published poetry titles, your work, etc.
Hi Sara, and welcome to The Horror Tree – the writer and author resource! Since that’s the site’s target, we’ll be mostly talking about the process of writing and publishing here today.
