As well as not having the temperament for it, I don't have the knowhow

Technical stuff, website structures etc

II don't consider myself an artist

I'm a hobbyist

And I ain't learning marketing for a hobby

It'll sap my will 🥶

#pretendpanel thank you for your answers to the last question. Let's get more specific today...

March 7th: What do you think is your biggest roadblock when it comes to marketing your writing?

#WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

Hate it

I hate talking about myself in any capacity

I like what I've made, and want folk to read it, but I always feel like a nag

I mean we're all in the same boat, what makes me different?

And I feel like I'm begging 😵‍💫

Thanks Eryn

This is always fun

Check out my books

Any one of them

Hell, all of them

I need to know if I'm writing tripe or not

They're thrilling

They're funny

And as my dear departed grandma would say

They're proper filth!

Beats watching the news

It was bad enough the dogs had cleared Dave of all his money

He didn't know shit about poker

But when they started beating him at snap?

Then the prayers to God began

Made even worse they were dachshunds too

Yes, the best kind of dog there was

But . . .

Such little paws!

🤷

#HorrorWritersChat

Do I dare look them up?

#HorrorWritersChat

This, I know you can do. Q4. Hang around for the promo coming soon.

Well I won't choose bears again

And Man is too easy

So I'll say I really wouldn't want to encounter a ribbon worm

Imagine being caught in the proboscis and being dragged into a hell that disgests you really slowly

Get a gooood mental picture

That's right

Like marriage!

#HorrorWritersChat

Q3.
I'm just going to blink and not think about Arachnophobia at all.
#HorrorWritersChat

Aye he's great

That stretch in prison he did, however short, was bullshit!

I'm also growing an obsession with the Longhorn Beetle

That's one bad ass bug!

Well not all bears are bad

But I'm not risking a cold hard stare from anyone!

Homicidal maniac!

I love insects as a source of inspiration, especially the Garuda Wasp

That sucker is nightmare fuel

But the best animal for horror is one that scares me to the atom

Bears

Big f'ck off bears

Bears that leave nothing of you

Bears minding their own business

F'ckin bears!

#HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q2.
I never thought I could get horror into so many international days. Ha.

Hi I'm HD Beird, all endeavour and no reward

HD stands for Hmm, Despair

My horror is adult in nature, involving sci-fi, gothic romance & dark comedy

The stupidity of little dick men with their phallus hanging over the big red button - and their supporters - creeps into my work

#HorrorWritersChat

Q1, #HorrorWritersChat. You can do this. I'll start off gently, I promise.

This is your something something 90 ish minute warning #HorrorWritersChat

Thanks Hiria

If it ain't a bother, I'll post a link to my books

If you like scifi, horror, mystery, dark humour and a bit of eroticism, you're in luck

There's loads of books for that

B-but if you can find them here too

Thanks Lizzie

I wouldn't mind re-reading LIFE OF PI at some point

Nearly read it in one sitting, I was that enthralled

When life ain't so turbulent, I'll see if I can do that one read through!

I'm not one to post tributes to famous people when they pass

It's more important that those who knew the deceased be listened to when they are eulogised

But given the passing of Rob Grant, I just wanted to say thank you to him for co-creating RED DWARF

It's been a source of joy my whole life

RIP

#pretendpanel

Uh . . .

Someone has a look at me work in progress and lets me know if it's a bit naff or not

Helps a lot!
