Anxiously awaiting Midnight. Not long after, the elimination for this week will be announced, as will the new challenge, like always. But next week will be different. The rules are going to change, and it’s going to keep getting stranger and more difficult as the weeks go on.

The entries for Challenge #4 of the Fear Project are live!
My entry this week is titled “Tobias.” I went with zombies on this one, an unoriginal idea. So I focused on description being the strong point of this entry. I’ll find out on Friday whether or not this piece keeps me in the game for another week.
Another week has come and gone, and I’m still here. This week the Fear Project has claimed Jennifer Roush as its victim. I’ve survived the first three eliminations and this week’s challenge is about exactly that–survival.
This week’s challenge:
CHALLENGE: In the end, it wasn’t one of us who brought down the dread antagonist, but an outsider: a SURVIVOR who had already faced nightmarish foes in plenty. Horror stories are full of these indestructible heroes, the only defense we have against slashers, evil clowns, and serial killers. In 250 words please describe this fearsome warrior. Is it a Final Girl? A scarred monster hunter, veteran of unthinkable battles? A simple man, pushed to extremes by the terrors of the dark?
The entries for challenge #3 of the Fear Project are posted to the site! A lot of frightening ideas came out of our imaginations this week. Some were born of innocence, someone you trust. Some were lurking beneath the water, waiting to strike. And some transcended normal reality, killing without consequence.
My entry is titled “Silence in the Willow Field”

I’m finished with my entry for the Fear Project this week. I didn’t have as much trouble as I did with the last challenge; this one came together with relative ease. I’m very happy with the end result and I love the character I created.
It’s 4:28 am. I’ve just finished the second draft of my entry for the third challenge in the Fear Project. I stayed up the entire night writing the second draft. I spent the entire night before writing the first. But now I have something with promise to submit on Sunday.
I’m sure I’ll be spending then next night and day polishing it up, picking apart every sentence, every word, until I can’t take it anymore.
