Ask me anything about my stories and/or writing process: inspiration, process, what the hell was I thinking, etc. No limit on questions, just ask away.
I've never written a story from 1st person POV. I think of it as being very hard because there's less room for error, I think. You'd have to get everything right
As for genres, well, don't laugh. I want to write horror stories. I can't entirely say where this came from, but I know it's been hanging around for a very long time. My childhood was littered with those Pan horror anthologies and the genre feels very much a part of me in that way. It's not the blood and gore, but more the stories that are unspeakably creepy and make good use of the the terror of simply being human. Ramsey Campbell rather than, say, Brian Lumley (who is the world's biggest hack, let me add).
