It's great to see you both and to be able to comment!!! <br /><br />W00Ts!!!<br /><br />Good luck with your WIP Soapy!! <br /><br />I like humans because they aren't supposed to be monsters. There is no reason for them to be monsters, except for their own cruel mind. Sick and twisted. Yes. We are.Kara McElhinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013577325689856288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571667277898904726.post-5270484655754100162010-01-21T12:55:43.226-08:002010-01-21T12:55:43.226-08:00I have seen that book!

I&#...I have seen that book! It is a good one. : )<br /><br />I'm usually a human monster writer too. But I've been trying to branch out to more "supernatural" ones. Specifically ones based in folklore from various cultures. I've always been fascinated by the oral tradition and how tales of monsters and creatures were perpetuated before they were even written down. And how they've been used throughout the ages to reinforce cultural norms. Have fun with this! <br /><br />I am in the process of creating a monster for a new WIP now actually. Though, honestly, I usually find out that they exhist somewhere else. Once I start really digging--turns out they aren't really "my" creation : ) But oh well, I can always try to put a new spin on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571667277898904726.post-11800440571376817862010-01-20T21:25:04.270-08:002010-01-20T21:25:04.270-08:00I'm really interested in the origins of monste...I'm really interested in the origins of monsters too, specifically the social and historical origins of monsters like how zombies came from Haiti, where slave owners used to bury slaves alive to make them compliant.<br /><br />I like that you dabble with human monsters. They're so much more real.Benjamin Solahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657105522335752577noreply@blogger.com
