This Short Story Has Gripped Me (Here’s a Sneak Peek!)

I just as in JUST NOW started writing the short story THE UNWANTED GUEST, this is that haunted house short story I said I was gonna write like a year ago. I’m finally get around to it. Before this, though, there were three other fairly short in both length and depth stories that I wrote for the month of October to get new readers.

But this one, the haunted house one, it’s different from the jump.

3 DAY FLASH GIVEAWAY!

Yup because I’m bored at home (and somehow not writing, I know, I know,) I decided to hold a flash giveaway on my Facebook Page! Because I know my Likes could be a bit higher, I’ve decided to make that the stipulation for entering the giveaway! All you have to do is like the page and you’re entered to win!

Editing is OVER!
And believe me, I have been celebrating in my own way (drowning in Netflix shows counts as celebrating, hush), and I’m overjoyed at the story I have now. And as for what has been done with the story – well you’ll have to keep reading future blog posts to find out. 😉 Moving on, The Dark World is the novel I’m talking about in case you’re a newcomer to this blog, and you can read more about it by clicking the link up there on the navigation bar. And with the completion of The Dark World, (for the millionth time), I’ve…
Still Alive
Still here, and still writing. Things have turned around since my latest posts, and I’ve rekindled my love for my characters in The Delacroix Series, as well as my newer characters in my short story, soon to be full-length novel, A Night of Frivolity, available now for Kindle for $4.99 – free if you’re a Kindle Prime member. I may just keep this short, but I wanted to seriously thank everyone that’s bought their copies of my novels and short stories, and have interviewed me, shared my work, and spread the word. It means a lot. And it goes a…
Finals, Writing, and Anxiety
Fitting that this be my 100th post, it being about the end of things, as it were. No, I’m not ending this blog, but I am ending this semester at college (it’s finals week, hence my lack of blogging, and writing. For shame, I know), and for a while now I’ve been holed up in a whirlwind of anxiety and sickness. I don’t feel well. I don’t feel…like myself. I feel scared, tired, sad, and, quite frankly, not good enough. I barely go on Goodreads anymore, I no longer promote TDW or TIG (and part of that is because I’m…
Expanding Outlets and Individual Facebook Pages
So I’m on Goodreads (finally), I’ve updated my Amazon Author Central Page, and I’ve added separate Facebook pages for The Dark World, Judgment, and soon to be The Rather Depressing Tales of Patricia L. Bordeaux, and The Immortal’s Guide. I’m expanding and making former maybe ideas into something much more concrete! If you’re on Goodreads, add me as a friend and maybe send me a message? I love to talk to fellow writers and people in general! Keep your bite you lovely Creatures! -S.C. Parris
Short Story: A Vampire’s Mistake Part 3
As he stepped further down the long tunnel, the light of the torches along the wall guiding him, he decided it best to allow his thoughts to still – nothing would be gained by constant questioning. He would, he knew, gather all he needed by asking Desmond just what was going on – after he was berated for failing in his mission.
Brief Story (1/30/2013) Continuation (Updated!)
Someone asked me to continue it and I, myself, had been thinking about it and the possible story it held so I decided to write some more on my ‘brief’ story, but of course, after this it may not be so brief but instead be novella-worthy. Let’s just see where this takes us shall we? There was something on her shoulder but as she turned to look at it, it disappeared leaving her all the more confused. “I don’t know what that was,” she told him. He touched the same shoulder while she gave him a once over in confusion.…
Understanding Writing Style
Being in a creative writing class has made me realize (if, only more so), my writing style and how it differs (and is similar to) my peers in the class. I’ve written short stories for the class thus far, two poems, and naturally, my inclination was to write, or share, my previously written work, or type up stories where couples were distraught, on the verge of a break up, lost secrets not told, secrets, as a whole, I realize tends to more or less resurface in my work, something my professor enjoys immensely to say the least. I showed him…
