Hello all! In honor of the release of my book, "Freaky and Fantastical 500 (Words or Less)", my posts will focus on my thought process and the themes behind the 99 stories featured in the book. The first story, "Horror From My Point of View", can actually be found here on the site on the "Clutter" page, if you want to read the unedited version I originally wrote for a contest. This very story was my inspiration for the entire book. It was my call to action, my challenge, to write a story in as few words as possible. And in the end, I chose to take that challenge for myself 99 times over with varying results, making sure every story's word count would be a multiple of 100 and also presenting a different concept or issue in the world in my own unique style. "Horror From My Point of View" was inspired by a certain lovable family member and how I imagined they would react when presented with a horrific supernatural threat to our family... which is all I can say without spoiling the twist. I tried to play with different storytelling elements in each story following this one such as voice, point of view, time, and other elements but this first story is probably one of my best because of the reveal of the cowardly storyteller's identity.
