Write Her Story

End of the Line
by Lisa Lane

She had known this night would come. It had only been a matter of time. The adversary had been relentless, ever reminding her that the hunter was also the hunted. The witch’s charm had staved him off, but his magic had proven more powerful. She’d let down her guard, let herself love. How could she know he’d go so far to ensure her end? That a man could toy so cruelly with her emotions… that a man might poison himself before he gave himself to her, sacrifice himself to destroy this perceived evil?
She died alone.

A Damned Take on Women in Horror Films
The Guy’s Point of View!

In honor of Women in Horror Month 2017, I asked six male horror writers for their top-five favorite horror films staring strong leading ladies and why they loved them so much. So, without further ado…

Day 05 – Hunter Shea:

You’re Next
Leading Lady: Sharni Vinson

huntershea_yourenext_mp

Synopsis:

When the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back.

Hunter’s opinion:

“In this family dinner party gone mad, Erin, played by Sharni Vinson, is an unwitting victim of a plot by masked intruders to murder everyone in the house. It’s kind of like Assault on Precinct 13 on a residential scale. Erin may be a waif of a woman, but she’s no pushover. When everyone is losing their shit, she’s…

Day 02 – Lee A. Forman:

The Descent
Leading Lady: Shauna Macdonald

Synopsis:

A caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.

Lee’s opinion:

“The Descent resonated with me when I first saw it. It took hold, brought me to a place I’d not been in a long time. I was dragged down with the characters and mesmerized by the gradual change taking place within this film’s leading lady, Shauna MacDonald. As she faced impossible odds her primal brain gradually took over. A brutality of her own was released, to be feared even…

Progress in Reverse

threedeletedpages

Sometimes progress isn’t going forward, but going in reverse. There are times when we must stop, back up, maybe even print out that manuscript and set it on fire. I wouldn’t recommend that last part, but hey, whatever works.

I’ve been struggling to write a story with a rapidly approaching deadline. My muse finally decided to arrive, but rather than fill my head with beautiful prose, I was motivated to delete the three pages it took me all week to trudge through.

The choice was difficult. I worked hard to write those three pages: I was getting closer to the required word count, the story was moving along, and it was leading where I ultimately wanted it to go. But it didn’t feel right. The character seemed to stumble wherever I put him. I was giving him bad ground to walk on.

Frustrated and in remorse of wasting a week’s work, I shook it off and kept at it. In one night I replaced those three pages with plenty more and my writing mojo is back in full swing. The character is walking through the story with ease, no longer tripped up by the events obstructing his reality.

I took three steps back and dashed forward with the speed of a raging (some creature I haven’t thought up yet).
