Below is my contribution:

‪#‎TenThingsNotToSayToAWriter‬
1. So, is your book like Twilight?
2. Do your vampires sparkle?
3. Why don’t you stop writing if it’s stressing you out?
4. I have a book idea. Maybe you can write it for me.
5. How much are your royalties a year?
6. If you’re a writer, why do you work?
7. Man, it must be great to sit at home and make up stories all day.
8. Can I get a friends and family discount on your next book?
9. Oh, you expect me to actually PAY for your book?
10. C’mon, you’ve known me FOREVER, just give me the book for FREE.

Gothic Horror And Inspiration
It was always my intention as of late, with Sinner Sharpe to delve into the horror he's facing--not physical horror--at least not yet, but the mental horror. He's seeing horrific visions, he's losing large gaps of time, he's being attacked on his ship (an already enclosed space) for weeks.
