That's the best compliment you could give me, M! Thank you!

I do sometimes scare myself. I try to dig into my deepest fears and explore the things that make me the most uncomfortable, so I know I've done a good job when I finish a writing session feeling anxious.

Last week I was writing at a cafe. It was a scene where the main character walks through an empty house and feels a hand touch her shoulder. I'd just finished it when someone tapped MY shoulder - I made this awful noise somewhere between a gasp and a squeak. It was only a friend who'd come to say hello, but I was terrified for that half second!(less)

I think I'm a pretty average writer. Most days I write around 1,000 words an hour, but I can get up to 3,000 words in short bursts when I'm excited. Editing is the most unpredictable part of writing--the fastest I've edited a novel was three weeks, I think, and the slowest was eight months. (less)

“C'mon. We can turn it into a fun game - What's Scarier, The Basement Or The Attic?”
Darcy Coates, The Haunting of Blackwood House

“The massive grey tabby turned his sea-green eyes towards her and projected abject misery in the way only cats are capable of.”
Darcy Coates, The Haunting of Ashburn House

“This is a house that hasn’t seen a new soul in half a century. The walls are saturated with her; the floorboards are worn down from her feet; the very air continues to carry her presence after her death.”
Darcy Coates, The Haunting of Ashburn House
