Starting October off on a high note.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Between battling migraines and work, I really haven't had the energy to write. But as always, some words are better than no words. And some words were written.

Copy editing is more than just trying to figure out where the comma goes. It is in-depth, technical, and takes hours!

It's the season of the witch! Welcome to my collection, which I've called Witch Bitch, AKA some of my favorite witchy items from @aweinspired Reclaim the word, witch. A witch is just somebody who fought back. Somebody who healed people. Somebody who learned how to say no.

Reason #666 why we do multiple editing passes: It doesn't matter how many editing passes you do; there will likely ALWAYS be that one typo that slips through the cracks.

Get yourself something to help you stay spooky year-round, something small that will last you many years to come. Rebel against capitalism, the patriarchy, and polite society. Get yourself something feral. And support your local witchy cryptid. Purchase link in my bio.

What do you think a horror writer thinks about?

010

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Some of the best advice I can give you when writing: read your writing out loud. Especially dialogue! You don't know if it sounds natural until you say it. And it's really good for pointing out mistakes in grammar, as well as typos!

Last week, on the same day Practical Magic 2 was released in North America, I had my own just as magical announcement. I have officially signed with the publisher. Here is more information about it. It's a bind-up of my previous poetry collections, with short stories, pictures, and bonus content.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Well, I can officially announce it now! My next book will be published with Dead Fox Publishing, coming in early 2027!

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Just remember that this book doesn't have to be the book. The first book you write is unlikely to be the one that gets you an agent, a book deal, or a movie deal. The first book that I published was not the first book that I wrote. The first book that you write should be for yourself.

August wasn't the greatest writing month, but it was a good work month. And really, any words are good words. And I still wrote.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Well, apparently my Kindle understood the mission. Lol, even it wants me to read all of Karina Halle's books.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

For the next little while, I'm working on four different projects. Three developmental edits and a book-coaching session.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I recently finished The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by Phillip Fracassi. I very much enjoyed it. I loved the main character. And I enjoyed the setting. It's not a typical setting for a thriller/horror. I was surprised at how humorous it was.

Sometimes we force ourselves to work with whimsy. This year, I downloaded the forest app, and I've been planting trees and focusing. I find this app works for people who like being rewarded. Because I get to plant a cute little tree, and I get to set a timer.

A Thin Place by Carson McEvoy This was a fantastic novella! It had such a unique concept. And it was so well written that I had a hard time putting it down. The characters were fun and realistic. It was eerie and humorous at the same time! You can get it here deadfoxpub.com/products/a-t...

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

It's the last week of August. Which means it's the last week of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month. This means that my books will no longer be discounted after this week. If you want to buy them, get them now! deadfoxpub.com/products/kal...

I'm working on two developmental edits. The two concepts are completely different. I like working on multiple projects at a time. And it helps when they aren't similar. I'm also working on a book-coaching session. Yesterday, I got to edit a poem for a good friend and a fantastic author.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

My poetry collections are still on sale over at deadfoxpub.com/products/kal... If you like prose that sounds like a siren trying to sing you to your death, I think you'll like my writing. Support your local disabled Cryptid! Or else I'm sending Mothman to stare in your windows at night.

August 12 was a really good writing day. I am working on a couple of different projects right now. A book and a collection of short stories. On August 12th, I worked on a fun cannibalistic short story!

I think the pictures kind of talk for themselves.

We don't have to support a creator that we don't like. We don't have to support a creator that we don't agree with. What we also don't need to do, though? Shit on the fans who do enjoy it. Tell them why we don't like the thing. Tell them that they shouldn't also enjoy it.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I got a couple hundred words in on August 2nd.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Alert: I'm currently offering a developmental editing deal! It is a $300 flat rate for manuscripts up to 80,000 words. This includes in-line developmental comments. But it does not include the developmental edit letter. However, this can be added on for an additional fee of $100!

My newsletter came out on Monday. But if you couldn't tell, I'm really excited for September. Practical magic #2, American Horror Story 13, monster: Lizzie Borden. I am totally done with summer. I am ready for crunchy leaves. Pumpkin spice everything. Cozy boots. Horror, horror, horror.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Just over 10,000 words for July? I would say that's pretty good!

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

August is Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month. I was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 when I was 11 months old. So you should support your local disabled corrected. And buy my damn books. deadfoxpub.com/products/kal...

New testimonial up on my website! It was a pleasure and an honor to work with comic book legend D. G. Chichester

I am opening up a couple of developmental edit spots for a severely discounted price again. This will include developmental inline comments, but it will not include a developmental edit letter. Three spots open. For projects up to 80,000 words, for the price of $300 USD.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

What am I working on today? Well, more like the last few weeks Developmental edit of a project that is so unique, I adore it. A couple of different projects that I'm doing content pulls on. Book coaching for a regular client whose work is always fantastic. Hoping to start another developmental edit.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I've personally never been one to read a lot of writing resources. I don't find they are one-size-fits-all. What works for one person doesn't work for another; what works for one story doesn't work for every story

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Limiting words are words that restrict, narrow, or define the scope, amount, or certainty of other words or ideas. In many cases, the use of limiting words can bog down your writing. If you are an overwriter, these are words that you can take out.

July 23rd was another really good writing day for me. I don't believe in chasing the muse. I don't believe in only writing when you are inspired. I believe in writing when my body allows me to. With chronic illness, my body doesn't afford me the ability to just write when inspired.

020

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I have some editing availability! I would really like to edit some more horror, poetry, or dark romance.

030

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

On July 22nd, I just wasn't feeling it. Somehow I still managed to conjure up 250 words. The horrors persist, but so shall we.

000

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Just letting everybody know, I am still offering developmental edits on short stories up to 8000 words. As well as query letters. For only $10.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

July 19th was a great day for writing.

I have some editing availability that has opened up! I would really love to take on developmental, coaching, or beta reading. I would love to take on horror, dark romance, thriller, and poetry. However, I will take on anything. If you comment on this post first, you will get your service 15% off!

You may think your editor is good, soft, and demure. I am, uhh... Definitely not. I am feral, I am bitey, I could possibly be rabid. But I will cheerlead your project with an unhinged, manic glee.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

July 12th, I took the whole day and turned it into a writing retreat day. I did writing sprints with two of my good friends! Each of us got plenty of work done. No, we didn't go anywhere. We all participated from the comfort of our own homes. We cheered each other on in our pajamas, and we had fun.

000

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Next week, I will be giving you recommendations for amazing horror books, from each of the zodiac signs! Stay tuned, because there are some really killer books on this list.

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

July 10th was another really good writing day for me. I very nearly hit the 3000-word mark. I find myself drafting in ellipsus. I really like the program. And it's very user-friendly. #writer #author #horrorauthor

Kala Godin @kala-g-writes.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I've been doing quite a bit of writing lately. Taking on a new challenge, I have been aiming to write 3000 words every day. It hasn't worked out to 3000 each time. But by setting myself a high number, I am actually pushing myself towards it.
