It is crazy to think that it has been almost 3 years since I last wrote on this blog, since I started it since I last really spent any time on this website. I go through spurts of activity, spurts of writing. I am in one of those writing moods right now.

I am working on rewriting the first book I ever self-published - The Perfect Nightmare. The original is so horribly written. I can't believe I thought it was polished enough for publication. I was still a child when I finished it. My writing style hadn't formed. It was just a bunch of word vomit.

I've thought a lot about the characters, and how little they were developed before and during the story. I also realized there just weren't enough death scenes in it. The origins of this story are gorey and brutal, and I want to portray that. Also, it became too supernatural for what it was meant to be. Yes, it deals with a creature living in the walls, but no one needs superpowers.

So here I am, writing it as I get inspiration, highlighting parts of the book that I want to include in the rewrite, and posting it has each chapter is finished. I hope that someone reads it and enjoys it, but I know that is unlikely, what with the blood and gore.
