Hi myLot members, how are you doing in this Tuesday. I hope everything goes well and we are still given good health. I still in a confusion while writing some stories that I want to make to fill the season event upcoming. That's right it's "Halloween Day" before the day comes, I need to finish this side story and publishing it. Some of you may be ask, "why side story?" because I'm little bit run out of ideas to include this event into a main story of the books. that's why i make a side story which is the same character that I made before and there are given no effects to the main story that is still on going. So, what is the main idea of this side story in Halloween event? of course it must be a horror story. since the stories before have a nice little joke a little bit, it think to add it to some scene. let's get started. the general idea of the genre is criminal / mystery. it will not so hard if I added 'horror' in it but something feels not right. science of deduction not so matching against ghost, even I watched Sherlock Holmes BBC "The Abominable Bride" something missed at the movie. The closest part of criminal / mystery genre is none other than dangerous serial killer, mass murderer, and something close to that. and it got me thinking about the zombie (let's say the zombie rise with some scientific approach) and happens to run amok in some isolated place like private island or even better a cruise ship. Yeah! that's it. (why I am so exited to discussed my mind about the idea of the story, oh well) there is a raw idea I guess I can work on the beginning of the story and make it interesting. Happy Tuesday an have a nice day.

Hmm... is there a favorite food in your country for Halloween? Some animal or fish that most people eat? What if that animal/fish decides to attack people? That could be an interesting story line, too. I hope you enjoy your day.

Most ghost and zombie stories are finally not scary at all, because most people believe those characters do not exist and they are just there to scary kids. A good horror story must be something that could really happen to everyone of us. Something that makes us think "oh goodness, this could happen to me, what would I do in this situation?". Good luck for your story.

Not into zombie stories. When I was going to college, I had a writing class where the teacher said our story had to be a scary story so I made my story a ghost story. My story was a girl who could kill people with her hands and she ends up being a ghost at the end. A woman named Tahereh Mafi wrote a book series that really similar to my story, but she wrote the story better than me. No, I'm not suing her.

Hello and good luck with your story. I think you should write about something original rather than basing your work on something that has already been done. Maybe you could think about the worst nightmare or the weirdest dream that you have ever had. This would be unique to you and nobody else would have thought of it before. It would not matter how strange it was because that is the point of horror.

Hi nuttybooklady. Thanks for your suggestion. This story is should be an original one. But I just make some side story from my main novel (not changing the name of the character etc). I will try very hard to write the good story
