I'm thinking about a continuation... as you can see, there seem to be some votes in favor and some against.

The advice you are receiving is right on the money. Writing -- the creative process of taking a story and seeing where your imagination takes you -- is the easy part. That's Day 1. Editing -- the tinkering of what you put on paper and refining, not only the language, but maybe even the story line -- the so much more difficult. That's Day 2, 3, 4, 5 and maybe 6. The first part of the editing is taking advantage of your Spell Check and Grammar Check int the word processing program you are using. MSWord has a good Spell/Grammar Check. It's in the 'Review Tab'. That should be your first level of edit (in my opinion), because it gives you proper usage and grammar issues, such as 'dangling participles' and nonsensical phrases. If you do that you will find a better finished product that is easy to read and makes for better story telling. Those are "form" issues. As for substance, you write whatever the hell you fell like writing. It's supposed to be for your pleasure. If people enjoy it, great. if they don't, that's on them. Keep writing. I want to see where your creative talent takes you.

Yeah, LongtimeFan, I'd consider all the stories you mentioned to be horror, at least in a sense. They're a little like Lovecraft in the way that the antagonist is a powerful, impersonal force whose motives aren't entirely clear. Also, all of my stories deal with the erasure of personality--that's why dialogue tends to be so important in my stories, since that's where the characters' original personalities come through and how we can witness the "death" of those personalities over the course of the story. I think there's also a lot of humor and irony going on in my stories, but if I had to pick one label for them, I would term them "erotic horror."

I agree with the above commenter. It's interesting to consider your work as horror stories, Hypnothrill--it makes sense for the alien/parasite tales, but do you consider things like Hardbodies, Musclehead, and the bathhouse series horror as well? I can see how they could be--losing identity to some brainwashing outer force...

I haven't ever commented here but you're doing well. A new story a day is sometimes a tall order. If you're getting comments on your editing a few hopefully helpful tips. Easiest one is set it down, do your first check. Come back the next day for a re-read. Read it backwards, it forces you to focus on each sentence. Read it out loud (heh, I claim no responsibility for doing so lol). And print it, grab a red pen and mark through every single word one by one deliberately. And of course someone with a fresh pair of eyes is always handy if you have that luxury. As for "is this the middle" - nyeh, it is your story. Craft it as you want. Everyone has a preference, some people like slow build ups. Some like quick and dirty. I'm not saying ignore your readers, just know what you want to make. (Ex. Star Wars we got 4 5 6.. And many years later we got 1 2 3) If you are intent on a story a day get a work flow that works for you, where say, you have one in editing, one newly written and one ready for final review. Only reason I am suggesting that level of intensity is the patron link. If you're writing for the fun of it then I'd say just take your time and enjoy! Hope it helps.
