Oh hi?

Aham so, last year my novel hit the shelves, the Danish version of the Serpent Kiss (aka Den som hvisker / The one who whispers) and now … well now it’s nominated for the best Danish fantasy debut ♥️

I’m honored and wouldn’t have gotten very far if it hadn’t been for the beginning here at writeblr!

If you feel like giving the book a totally unfair advantage in the running for the debut prize you can go here to vote for the crimson book ♥️

Thanks again guys and if you miss me you can always always follow along on my IG @calisawolters. I post daily stories (still, yes I know) and occasionally profound posts. I’m also on tiktok now (same irl @calisawolters) where I basically just run around cracking fantasy jokes.

My next book in the trilogy is set to 2023 and we’re working timidly on the English translation of the first one 🖤✨

Love

A real physical thing

A real physical thing

Good afternoon here from The Writer’s Den! I hope you’re having a wonderful day, and if you didn’t, then screw today and try again tomorrow. I’ve had a fun and completely overwhelming year so far. First things first: we’re getting published! Me and Shiroin and Kiel (those are my main characters and best imaginary friends)! We’re gonna show ourselves to the world.Isn’t crazy?Last summer I got…

How I Write Horror

The best complement I’ve ever gotten for my writing would have to be: “it’s only four in the afternoon, but I’m home alone, and you made me turn on all the lights in the house!”

Does that make me sadistical? Perhaps. But I’ve been a horror enthusiast ever since I was a kid who was convinced that the devil and the ghosts in our house were my friends. And yes, it would have freaked my mom out, had she not been a ‘fortune teller’ and horror lover too. So whenever my writing makes you glance over your shoulder, I’m glad!

Seeing as I’ve read every spooky book, played every decent horror game, watched every thrilling movie and written a fantasy where the dead crawl around on the pages; I’ve picked up a few things regarding creating the sense of unease.

Step One: Get scared.

Now. If you think I’m a bulletproof girl, and all the grisly spooks just rolls right off me, you’re wrong. I scream and cry and hide in the cushions!! And I will not sleep for days if I’ve just seen Samara creep out of her well!

I get scared a lot! I freak myself out! And therein lies the key. That sense if ‘what if???’ That feeling or ‘what was that!?’ Is something I experience and then describe in my scenes. I do this like so:

Establish the setting - and it’s rules (they are alone. It’s warm. It’s light. Bright. Happy). Then break them!!

Initiate the creep. A shadow. A flicker. A shift in the mood.

Describe bodily reactions. Heart, breath, goosebumps, looking around -if you want. Not always a good idea as it can become cliche!

This is an example from my novel ‘The Serpent Kiss’:

But before he could answer, a pebble fell within the ruin.

It made me sit up straight. It could have been an animal, a night-bird snatching a rodent, but I reached for my katana like it had been something else.

Kiel scanned the darkness.

This particular ruin felt very much alive in an unsettling way, although the only thing to spot was rock and plants.

It made my skin itch. “No one is here.” Kiel said.

Step Two: go check?

Okay a shadow outside my window, pppffth! It’s nothing. The trees’ shadows! The cat! The wind!!

But….. why is my front door open?

This is the next push!

Force your character to action! Without action, no reaction, and then your story gets stranded. Make them investigate. With or without a weapon.

Use line break to build tension. Make the small realizations stand alone. It drags the pace.

Don’t split the fuck up after a long panel discussion. It’s boring and overused. If you want to separate your guys, make the environment do it for them. Tripping into a haunted basement? Panicking and running in diffident directions? All good.

Step Three: fight or GTFO!!!

Did you bring the knife?? Excellent! Too bad it didn’t work on that little gurgling girl dragging herself up the stairs!! Oh and look! Her baby brother is here too!

Behind you.

This is where your character should be activated to either fight or flight and make the reader feel that adrenaline! It was about lingering before, lots of thoughts and environment to describe. Tension to build. But now it’s about the MOVING!

Short sentences! Verbs! Exclamation points and dread!

Be vague. The monster/killer/ghost/evil demon has revealed itself but don’t describe every detail in its gross strange face! The reader’s mind will do that without your help. Instead…

Make impossibilities! I’ve found that we get scared when we see something that doesn’t make sense. Something that breaks the rules of the established reality. People walking on the celling or hands coming out from no where to grab you, for instance. Quick ex. ‘it moved like it had bones, but bones as soft as octopus tentacles. Nothing should be able to move like that.’

Step Four: but why me?

In this final step your character has either survived or they have died in their encounter with your malice. Now why? Why did they have to suffer this attack? And if they have died, then what did their gory death mean? Did it unlock a new piece of the puzzle or maybe brought the two MCs closer together? Maybe both??

I think these are all things you should have thought about before writing your scary scenes, but either way, there has to be some aftermath. Some sort of consequence or meaning with all this misery! OH! And for the many gods’ sake, do not kill the minority. The black guy, the lesbian girl, the promiscuous ones or the ones smoking weed.. I mean do whatever you like. I just.. Moral through gore is annoying to me. But. That’s my personal pet peeve.

And on that note!

These pieces of advice is just how I tackle my horror, they probably don’t tell you anything you didn’t already know, or read on five other blogs, but perhaps they inspired you a little. That was my only true goal.

Also. Writing horror fiction is sometimes seen as writing ‘low’ fiction because the genre has so many tropes and it tends to get redundant, but I think that it’s totally fine to use tropes/stereotypes and cliches, as long as you are using them for a reason -OR using them in a way that makes it exciting!

Happy typing!

I hope it’s horrrible.

@flashfictionfridayofficial !!

Church hunt

“I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT for dragging you all the way out here, and then I can’t even find it...” The blonde woman, fairly childlike in her apperence considering that she was in her on her very last twenties; turned around in the woodland clearing and looked apologetically at her friend.

“… This blows. There really was an abandoned church somewhere around here.” She said, gathering her windswept hair in a tangled ponytail and tying it back so tight the skinny black elastic threatened to burst in her fingers.

The friend, a tall man who liked to call himself a ‘viking’ although he had dark features and was ‘Mercian’ to the bone, shrugged while looking at his phone.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s a good day to spend outside anyway. I can’t see anything on google maps though.” He said.

The woman shielded her eyes and looked up at the sky. The sun hung low, like a little dying star just above the treetops. The mild September gust tried once again to take a hold of her hair, but the tie held. The air smelled like the beginning of fall: warm-toned leaves, rich earth and something entirely crisper than both.

Maybe a nighttime frost?

“Really? Aw. Double blow.” She frowned and waded over to him, through the tall grass, to look at the little screen too. He lowered the phone she could see. “I left my own Russian tracker in the car, but I had hoped you’d be able to see the ruin from above.”

The screen only showed miles and miles of deep emerald pine forest, a few lakes and clearings, like the one they stood in now, and the main road running through the forest, far off to the west.

There was no trace of any planes for old churches.

Her finger dragged the screen a little, following the road where she had spotted the ruin from her window last week, but alas. Nothing.

“Yeah. If it’s not here, it’s probably not here.” The man said, lifting his head to politely scout around. “Maybe it was further down the road?”

“No. We’re parked in the spot right where I parked last week. I’m sure.”

The woman sighed, frustrated that both her credibility and sense of direction were under question.

This was something that had always nagged her because truth was, she didn’t have any sense of direction! It was as if she took a step and the world sprung up around her – shaped and created itself from nothing to a vibrant environment as she made her way through it. Meaning that everything behind her was erased and everything in front of her was yet to be made.

Or that was what it felt like.

Her therapist would’ve maybe called it an ego-bubble or maybe a loss of reality anchoring, but either way it made finding her way back to her small secondhand Toyota a real bitch the other day.

When the woman had taken a drive out into the woods, and then impulsively gone exploring when she’d seen the church among the trees, she’d almost got helplessly lost.

She had parked her car, gone less than 500m into the woods, and landed smack in the center of an old stone church. It looked like something she recognized from her own country. Crumbling columns overgrown with vibrant green moss and ensnared in ivy. Gaping glass-less windows and a stone path, sunken so far into the grass you’d think they had been there for an era. It had been an ethereal place. A beautiful and haunting place.

She had lost track of time in the ruin and although she was sure her car was just beyond the trees, it had taken her an hour, with her phone as a rescue device, to find back to the main road.

In the comfort of her shabby car she’d texted her very best friend in the world: ‘come look at this creepy place I’ve found’ and they’d set up a date to go church exploring as soon as possible.

Her friend was almost as macabre and drawn to the mystical, as herself.

However now, a week later and after all that, the ruin had magically disappeared.

“We can look around some more? It’s not completely dark yet. And you invited me to a church ‘hunt’. If it was right there it wouldn’t really be hunting.” The man said, trying to cheer her up.

“Nah, I’m cold actually…” The woman sighed again, deeper, and leaned back on her heel. “Damn. It was so cool-looking. Kinda like a crypt, ya’know. Tiny, roof totally collapsed and tons of tombstones out front. You would’ve loved it...” She trailed off looking up at her companion who had pulled a ‘meh whacha gotta do’ smile and put his phone away.

The man looked nice with the blue sky behind his dark tousled hair. Deep azure and iron ore.

They’d been friends for years, but had never really taken it any further. Why that was exactly, she didn’t know. They we re both single now and it was definitely not because the woman hadn’t wanted to, but timing had always seemed to play a part. Partners, jobs and distance. And it was not like she knew if he wanted to go non-platonic.

Truth be told there had been a few ‘almost’ times – bad combinations of loneliness and vodka and late night conversations on the porch. Those nights had been full of cricket concerts, uncertain eye contact and hesitation. Maybe anticipation.

But somehow she had always managed to snap herself out of it. She didn’t have that many friends that could handle her vibe and some friendships were simply too important to complicate with a messy one-night-stand.

“So what do you want to do now?” Her friend asked and the woman blinked herself out of her train of thought.

“Well… I’m kinda disappointed. Do you want to just go?”

“Sure okay. We can hit a diner. I feel like pancakes.”

The woman prefered ghosts, bitterness and salt, and the man was the one with the overpowering sweet tooth, but pancakes sounded like a good plan B tonight.

She shoved her hands in the pockets of her black jeans and nodded. “Deal. Damn, I still can't believe I lost a whole flipping church in the woods. It was not that far off the road.”

The man laughed and turned to walk back the way they came — she followed.

“If anyone were to lose a haunted crypt in the woods, it would be you though. You have an awful sense of-” he started but the woman stepped in front of him and pointed a playful, but warning finger.

“Oi! Don't you dare say it.”

“Direction.” He finished with a grin, so bright and charming that felt like it could knock her off her feet.

In that moment, the woman would have usually defended herself. Maybe hit him on shoulder with her bony fist or augmented that the woods were hard to navigate - but she didn’t do either.

Instead the smile that had subconsciously crept up on her lips, stiffened, as the faint, but unmistakable, sound of a church bell sounded in the woods.

It was a hollow metal ‘clang … Cl-clang … clang’, entirely unmelodic and without rhythm. It sounded more like an overgrown tin hammered against a cliff, rather than a bell actually tolling.

A few birds in a grand pine tree over by the other end of the clearing, abruptly took flight, leaving the skeletal branches swaying in their wake.

The man looked over his shoulder, back at the clearing. “Oh. That’s interesting.” He raised a dark thick brow. “Right on que…”

She nodded and after a moment of listening to the unsettling bell, she said:

“Agreed. Come on. We can follow the sound.” A chill ran down the back of the woman’s neck. There was something deliciously ominous about the bells timing and the silhouette of the black birds flapping across the sky.

She gently pushed past him and waded back into the tall grass.

Welcome to the revamping

Oh dear!

It’s 2020, the world is dying, the economy is slanting and political topics of equality is finally being (somewhat) recognized. What a time to be alive. What a time to be a writer.

What a time to come back and update your author page after almost two years!

Yes, it might seem insignificant to type words about literature when the world is stranger than fiction at the moment, but…

✨ Flash Fiction Friday is Here!✨

Before we get into this week’s prompt, we here at FFF just want to acknowledge the current Black Lives Matter movement and say that, while we’re just a little writeblr event blog, we will always support you and stand with you ✨

But now…flip open those notebooks! Pour that cup of tea! And get the ink flowing from your pens because it’s time to get writing!

✨ New to FFF? Let us fill you in!

FlashFictionFriday is a fun writer-event that’s meant to inspire, share and connect writings of all genres and writers of all ages. It’s designed to make people want to write, especially if they’re feeling blocked. Everyone and everything is welcome!

We always do our very best to keep the prompt’s genre open, entertaining, positive and encouraging.

Write between 100-1000 words. It can be any genre, in any text format and 18+ is fine by us, just please tag accordingly.

Use this Friday’s theme in your text. Any way you see fit.

Post on your Tumblr blog and remember to tag us at @flashfictionfridayofficial​!! So we’ll see it, read it and reblog it!!

Deadline is 24 hours after the prompt has been issued (SAT 12pm CET).

And then next Friday we’ll mention your work in a showcase post on our main blog before the next prompt drops.

Please post your entries as regular posts, not screenshots – or provide the text as a regular post as well. Let’s keep everything as accessible as possible!

If you have a question, check out our FAQ page! If your question isn’t on there, don’t hesitate to ask! <3

✨And now, this week’s prompt!

Pouring rain, crashing thunder, with a hot wind blowing? Is this a storm that rips trees from its roots or gives plants a new lease of life and a chance to grow? Or perhaps it’s internal and crashing through your heart and mind? We want to know! So get writing and give us your stories!
