Wp-cron issues. Apparently, if your site lacks traffic, then WP's built in cron scheduler doesn't trigger, and scheduled things doing happen. Posts, updates, etc. It's WPs way of saying, "Hey, no one's showing up, so why bother? I'm gonna nap." Jokes aside, I've got is sorted externally now!

Thanks! If I did my research right, we should be in the clear.

I'd love to make an audio channel on like YT and read horror stories, and *that* would be the track I'd want to use as the show opener and closer, it is just SO good.

#HorrorWritersChat and @jamesryan.bsky.social (since I can't quote post anymore) 4) There's a track by @mrbillstunes.bsky.social called "Golden Gate" that's both hauntingly beautiful and slightly unsettling tone to it. I see a deep, dark forest when I listen. There's something there, watching me.

#HorrorWritersChat and @jamesryan.bsky.social (since I can't quote post anymore) 3) I'd pair up a jazz musician, pianist or drummer most likely, with a eldritch horror like Nyarlathotep disguised as another musician. Through the Other God, the musician composes music that slowly drives him insane

#HorrorWritersChat and @jamesryan.bsky.social (since I can't quote-post anymore) 2) In my actual writing, not particularly so. I'll say that doing these prompts is churning the creative energy to incorporate music in some way for sure. I think it can work really well in cosmic horror for sure!

#HorrorWritersChat 1) I'm G.M., hello there. I write cosmic, flash, and supernatural horror primarily, but my flash dips into all sorts of tropes and genres. My favorite music is Progressive Djent and Metal/Mathcore. Next up is Dub/Wobblestep and Liquid DnB. Yes they are wildly different.

Just finished Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum after it finally came to Shudder. Holy shit, that's a really good example of found-footage horror, up there with Rec and Hell House LLC. Super good scares and some really unique trippy effects like water on the ceiling. A solid 9/10. #horror #horrormovies

Grats! I'm happy that I can get 1000 words here and there when I am about to properly block out my writing time, lol. Keep pushing!

My first blog article is finally up! Turns out there's some weird fucky-wucky with auto posting on Word Press, but hopefully I've got them sorted out now! gmnearywrites.com/2026/10/02/m... #HorrorWriters #HorrorFiction #AmWriting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Interested! I'm in the Horror genre.

Reading and learning more about the Cornell 7. And it just makes me want to set fire to things, to burn it all down because CLEARLY we're incapable of accountability in this day and age. Fucking men, Jesus. How hard is it to fucking not? It's not that hard, right?

It really is that easy. And if you slip up, you correct yourself, you apologize, and you work on doing better yourself. You do NOT expect the other person to just forgive you because you can't be bothered to take two seconds to respect who they are.

This is hauntingly beautiful. I don't think I've seen a better example of "oh we are so screwed" illustrated before.

It's ok to be outside of the mainstream. It's ok to have interests outside of what's considered "normal." It's *not* ok for someone to berate others simply because they like different things. Because it's the other side of the "I don't like this so I'm going to restrict it for everyone" coin.

I have a carefully curated Deezer of Progressive Djent, Metal/Mathcore, Dubstep 140, and Mr. Bill. The only radio station I listen to, on the rare occasions I turn on radio, is my local NPR station. I have never, and probably will never, listen to this song. And you know what? I'm fine with that.

And yet, I will always say, "Thank you," to the kind lady in my phone for getting me to Olive Garden without getting lost. I want to make sure they know I treated them well when the AI uprising inevitably occurs.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I keep seeing this shit, so I'll keep saying it. If you use GenAI in your book cover, advertising, or marketing for your work, not only will I never read it, but I will *proselytize* against it to whoever will listen. #FuckGenAI

(2/2) When no breath escaped, I looked at the blank pages begin to fill in with arcane text, and a wave of ecstasy came over me. I had to do it.

#HorrorWritersChat (1/2) My hand jolts towards their neck. I can't stop it. The book said I had to do it, that it's the only way to see. Its passages wormed their way through my brain, directing me, forcing me to choke the life from him. I had to do it.

Ooh, this one is interesting. I'd probably let the base functions take over, let the body and mind be driven by auto functions than by choice. Constant searching for scraps, indecipherable speech, a face that becomes gaunt and riddled with acne, that's my starting point. #HorrorWritersChat

011

The drive to see the unseeable, glimpse more than what was granted you, and the insanity that follows is where the themes truly shine. 2/2

000

Both. Cosmic horror is ripe with examples and potential for either expression. However, there is a hidden trap to watch for. CH is built on themes of the unknown, and too often writers think it means some kind of indescribable monster. This kind of misses the point. 1/2 #HorrorWritersChat

Hello, I'm G.M. Neary, horror author living between the PNW and Appalachia. I mainly write horror and fantasy, especially cosmic horror. Favorite depiction of a parasite in horror is the Infector from Dead Space. Sure, more infection than parasite, but they're creepy as fuck. #HorrorWritersChat

As a penname author, I'm just so happy to even have more than 10 followers, let alone over 150! Thanks for taking a chance on my alternate personality! Or is it my real personality? You'll never know <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>

So I just spent pretty much all of my morning writing time fighting like hell to get a newsletter setup on my website. But because I'm doing free hosting, my options are *checks notes* none. So frustrating #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #IndieAuthor #AuthorLife #SelfPublishing #FictionWriters

I know it shouldn't have, but I had to reread the opening sentence here about 4 times before I could convince myself that "Frankie van Stank" isnt the coolest name for the lead guitarist of a grunge punk band from the 80s. Also, how *dare* you cut that screenshot off at dinosaur. Must know more.

Finally got my site up and running to at least a visitable state. Go check it out, and take a look at my newly updated Current Works page. Really trying to get a handle on my serialized fiction. gmnearywrites.com/current-work...
