I just finished a short book on “how to write scary”, since that seems useful as a skill, and man……..the author cautioned not to over-use fear signifiers because that can make a character come off as a wuss, and as an example he wrote a paragraph from the point of view of the most pathetic man possible……and when I tell you I was sweating and shaking reading that. there is something so wrong with me.

oh I feel bad that so many people are misunderstanding this. I’m afraid that I’m Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary posting again.
