It's Good to be Back · 7:23pm May 18th, 2018
I know I said it already, but I feel that publishing a new story makes it official. This one comes from the one instance when the stars aligned just right (ha ha) and I was able to find enough time to enter a writeoff.
All Nightmare Long represents the last of the story ideas from the years when my aim was to be a name synonymous with horror. But the muse eventually grows tired of the same old thing, and the artist finds himself branching out. I have before me four story ideas of varying viability, some comedic, some dramatic, but none horrifying. I suppose it was inevitable, once I had worked out the last of my irrational fears. (Art really is the cheapest therapy.) In that spirit, I've changed my page's decor theme from "house of horror" to "rock 'n' roll."
I've also rebuilt the Biblical Monsters Visual Companion, so save it quick before imgur blacklists us again.
Oh, and against all odds, I'll be able to do BronyCon this year after all. Just look for the really loud metalhead jacket with the horse skull on the back.
Cheers,
HV
See you then.
See you then.
It may be good for you to be back, but it's even better to have you back. "Joy is in the ears that hear, not the mouth that speaks," and all that.
Well, most of your stories aren't quite joyous, now that I think about it... ah, you know what I mean. And maybe one of those new stories will fit the quote both literally and non-. Always good to see more of you!
I'm looking forward to more stories from you. Spooky or not, you have a talent for writing.
Does this mean All Nightmare Long was a writeoff entry, or do you mean you're participating in this current writeoff?
See you there! Glad you're doing better!
Woo! \o/
Here's hoping that whatever reinvention you accomplish is the one you need. Giving yourself permission to play around, though, and branch out into other genres, is a really good step.
Huzzah!

Shucks, you're too kind. Funny you should say, since lately I've been perusing your bibliography, and I could say pretty much the same.

Much appreciated.
It was an entry from a while ago, but for some reason it took forever to rework it. This apparently is a common thing: Bradel's recent blog suggests he has enough of them saved up to make a comeback, if he's ever struck with sufficient inspiration.

Thank you both!
Encouragement really is helpful when making a risky artistic move like this one.
