Part Two: Writing From the WoundIn this episode, Alex and Chris continue their conversation with horror author John “The King” Collins to get behind the monsters and discover where stories really come from.John takes us inside Altars and Abandoned Houses and reveals how memories, abandoned places, Halloween, love, family, grief, rejection, and loss have found their way into his fiction.He calls part of that process “writing from the wound.”Alex and Chris also explore working with editors, revisiting rejected stories, promoting your work through podcasts, and why some of our strongest fiction grows from something emotionally true.Because everything we are eventually filters through the stories we tell.Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then, please leave them in the Comments Section.Write to: [email protected] follow us on ...@Tell The Damn Story www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story YouTube.com/ Tell The Damn StoryStories change lives.
