That is the ultimate milestone right there. When your side characters evolve, your entire story deepens.

That is a specific kind of magic and mild terror when the side characters grow a spine.

That is such a fascinating phase of writing. It is like you set out to build a nice vehicle, but your secondary cast hot-wires it and veers it off into the dark woods.

That sounds like a massive victory! Deleting 2,000 words while adding 500 targeted ones takes real discipline.

That sounds fantastic. Maybe save some of the garlic and make some compound butter to go with the bread.

Book 48 - Redemption by #DavidBaldacci. This is a fast-paced and complex thriller with a smartly developed plot. I did not realise this was the 5th in a series, but I never felt lost or confused. #BlueSkyBooks #ThrillerBooks #MysteryBook

I’ll be the first to admit I’m terrible at keeping you all in the loop, but I actually have news! My wonderfully weird A to Z book is officially with the proofreader, and the cover design is currently underway. Things are moving fast behind the scenes! Can’t wait to show you what we’re cooking up.

As soon as I met the main characters, I wanted to bail on this film. But I stuck with it as "research" for my third book, and yes, it is an ugly film, and the ending is so clichéd it tanks an already horrible film. The acting is terrible, and the plot is predictable. #HorrorMovies

A decent #GhostFilm, although not a #HorrorFilm. Lukas Haas is wonderful in the main role. #80sHorror

It is more a mockbuster of Flatliners than Pet Sematary. It is an interesting premise, if there is little else to it.

The trajectory of my #Letterboxd log is a happy story, going from a mockbuster of a cat terrorising young adults for 90 minutes, to a moody atmosphere that loses its footing, to a 70s Italian psychological thriller ending with classic 90s sci-fi nightmare fuel. #HorrorCommunity #LetterboxdFriday

That shift is brutal. It went from a mixture of cars, beers and random weirdness to feeling like a 24/7 bingo hall. Here in the UK, for example, there is a "whistle-to-whistle" ban on advertising betting apps during live sporting events.

Beverley's Horror Corner @stormywriter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

A great psychological terror, with its exquisite building of tension, it is such a shame about the ending. The design of the ship, with its gothic and mechanical elements, is perfect. #HorrorMovies #90sHorror #SciFiHorror

It was engaging, but it is so emotionally dark that it is uncomfortable.

A colourful, if derivative, film, it was one I wanted to look at, but it was ruined every time someone spoke, possibly not helped by the voiceover. The film lacks suspense, and the acting is average. #HorrorMovies #Giallo #PsychologicalThriller #ItalianHorror #ItalianCinema

There is no tax incentive, just the cruel, unyielding tax of having to watch Johnny Depp bury some jewellery in the desert on a Tuesday night.

I am really sorry today was such a brutal grind. On days like that, the best thing you can do is aggressively clock out mentally and sink into something comforting. Whatever went down today, you made it through.

What did you think of it? It completely blindsided me when I stumbled upon it.

I agree that multiple viewings would add texture to the film. But as a Welsh person, hearing my accent and language in a film will always make me happy.

Beverley's Horror Corner @stormywriter.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I am not sure what I just watched; the film is purposely ambiguous, with scenes more about metaphors than plot. Dev Patel and Rosy McEwan give restrained performances. What particularly stood out was the sound design, which was perfect at establishing atmosphere. #HorrorMovies #FolkHorror

What an abysmal film. It could not decide whether it wanted to rip off Pet Sematary or Flatliners. The only time I was happy was when the cat was on the screen. It felt like an Asylum film, but nope, this is a British film. It is poorly shot, and the script is completely flat. #HorrorMovies

Hitting 76k words and still having the momentum to keep going is a massive milestone. Celebrating a draft that is running long is a much better problem to have than staring at a blank page trying to squeeze out a few hundred words. Hopefully the editing process won't be too daunting.

That guilt is incredibly common amongst creative people, but it is fundamentally misdirected. We live in a culture that over-emphasises productivity.

Beverley's Horror Corner @stormywriter.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Impossibly dull and completely forgettable film. Who the killer is is incredibly obvious, so there is no suspense. The acting is unremarkable, unimpressive and, in the case of Roddy McDowell, downright embarrassing. #HorrorMovies #Slasher #SlasherFilm

That is a nightmare engineered specifically to ruin typing, high fives, and putting on gloves forever. Instead of 10 fingers, you are suddenly managing a 50-digit micro canopy.

Lost in a great book with no schedule to disrupt it is impossible to beat. What novel are you currently reading?

Dogs are absolute pushovers for anything with a good beat. Cats, on the other hand, have immaculate, unyielding snobbery.

Zero defence needed; some days absolutely demand an entire pizza.

This is not as scary or as thrilling as the first film. The puppet art was fantastic, but the story is uneven, and the social commentary was not subtle. The physical evolution into Candyman and the acting are great, but the characters' choices don't feel natural, leaving the film with plot holes.

That looks so yummy, and thanks for sharing the recipe.

Honestly, this is one of those unspoken fast-food sandwich injustices that deserve more noise.
