Is there anywhere to stand and wait in a grocery store that's not in the way?

I'm Frank, and I write historical, folk, and cosmic horror. My favorite villain/antagonist is Leanne from Servant. I think she can qualify as both. #HorrorWritersChat

If you're not watching the @thepwhl.com, you're missing out on some good hockey. What Aerin Frankel is doing in net is absolutely insane. Go Fleet!

Congrats—the best #audiobook I've heard since "It" narrated by @thestevenweber.bsky.social. It's almost like @sgj.bsky.social wrote this to be read aloud. The entire cast was amazing, but Ghostkeeper stole the show. It felt like Good Stab was in my passenger seat telling his story. #horror #booksky

God’s crumpled sketches were neither warm nor cold, and none of them had suns or moons. Some had scattered stars, and a few contained plants or fungi with dull bioluminescence—typically either a weak yellow or blue glow. None displayed beauty, but all housed strange life. #Horror #booksky #WIPSnips

Here's a dark and stormy #poem from a poetry/photography book I made a few years ago. This is "The Swell." #horror #booksky #writingcommunity #eastcoastkin

Black and white ocean with text:

The Swell

Morose—it swells and sloshes, this
creaking levee in my eyes.
It drizzles down and stings the snow,
for no old gods are hulking here.

Why must I shoulder “cease to be?”
Does green still smash skyward up the
permafrost? Doubt—absence feeds the
swell which wreaks its wrecks in me.

Does your protagonist have real life visual inspo? In my #WIP, Hélène, a 17th century Québécoise Ursuline nun, is physically based on a mix of: 1. Nell Tiger Free 2. Ilona Maher 3. Caitlin Clark 4. Lake Bell. I'd love to know yours! #booksky #writingprompt #writingcommunity #amwriting #writing

Here's the #poem that inspired my #horror novel WIP, "Of Blasphemy." I wrote it after hiking a trail system near my house that began as a farm in 1652. #AmWriting #BookSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #NewEngland #EastCoastKin

1652 Pastoral

This dead farm is older than our witches;
laid on land of the old, New World.
Wind rattles incantations through the leaves,
and I follow beyond the gate.

My feet float along the red, needled floor,
guided by a stacked stone backbone.
Walking, walking—away from time and self;
deeper, walking under a spell.

A break in the spine invites me off-path.
Back behind a felled pine, I find
a quaint pond, framed by roots and mud-embossed;
topped with slush like porcelain skin.

Do springtime bass and bream await my bait
below the mirror’s frosted glaze;
or did the tears of Salem trickle south
and form a barren pool of grief?

A subtle ascent up a rightward bend,
past a down birch’s pulp and curls—
a hawk shrieks through my veil of quiescence,
and I drift back into myself.

In circles, circles—spiraled down the day;
now amber ash paints the ridgeline.
I circle back below the crowning moon
and in the darkness, reach the gate.

Mine are typically 2k-3k words. I just had to break up some really long non-chapter sections in my manuscript because they were getting impossibly long.

Frank Waylor | Writer @frankwaylor.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

I did it! I wrote a fucking book. A hike inspired a poem. The poem inspired a story. Nine months and 92,000 words later, I have finished my first manuscript—a historical/cosmic horror. Rest, then revision. #writing #horror #booksky

Just finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social and I am blown away. It's so difficult to find an original story like that, and the audiobook was such an immersive experience, I found myself making up chores and errands so I could get away and keep listening. Absolutely amazing book.

Always see what's around the bend. Always press on until the end. Then explore beyond, if you can. #poem #poetry #newengland #hiking #nature #eastcoastkin
