Not sure how I missed your Substack for so long, but stumbled upon it after trying to find others writing in their own "universes" (because I am also doing it and loving it) and this post came up. I'm excited to read Waxwing Creek to see how you unfurl the stories and I also love horror so it's right up my alley.

I swear, the most dangerous rabbit-hole I fall down isn't world-building or researching for a particular story; its researching how other writers write. I've seen so many youtube videos following various schedules and outlining other authors processes. Settling into my own groove took such a long time.
