G.S. Wright is an author in Southern Idaho. He writes. A lot. All the time. Sometimes he watches movies, plays guitar, or sleeps. He has a beautiful wife (that keeps him from starving) and three children that he is failing to raise as ninjas. He also has a zombie survival plan.

Unveiling the Next Chapter: An Eerie Evolution on Haunted Chill

You might remember a few weeks ago when I dipped my toes into the unsettling waters of creepypasta music — complete with an intricate backstory. Now, we’re delving deeper into the shadowy world of Elysia Noctura, and this time, it’s not just about the music.

To begin, we’ve launched full-fledged videos for each track on the album. These are carefully curated to add another layer to the spine-chilling ambiance of each composition.

The Narrative Unfolds

If you’ve been following the journey so far, don’t stop now. Make sure to read the descriptions accompanying each video. Why? Because every description pulls back the curtain a little more on the enigmatic Elysia Noctura, revealing her haunting story piece by piece.

Join the Haunted Chill Community

I’d be remiss if I didn’t say this—be sure to like and subscribe! By joining the Haunted Chill community, you’re not just listening to music; you’re becoming part of an unfolding narrative, one that explores the boundaries between the real and the supernatural.

Elysia Noctura: The Journey Continues

Elysia Noctura’s narrative is branching out. Over the next few months, we’ll be expanding her haunting story across various platforms. Trust me, you won’t want to miss a moment of this chilling adventure.

There you have it. Haunted Chill is more than a YouTube channel; it’s a voyage into the unknown, and you’re cordially invited.

Fever Dream

Part 1 of some free interactive storytelling:

Warning to the listener: There should be no lyrics! If you hear her singing, it is already too late. DO NOT LISTEN FOR LYRICS!

I should probably warn you… Elysia Noctura… well… she gets into your head. There’s an urban legend, you see, that if you listen to this album as you fall asleep, she’ll visit you. And if… just if… you dream of her singing along to her songs – IF YOU HEAR HER LYRICS – each night you will dream that you’re in one of her songs, until finally you’ll join her macabre marionettes upon their velvet chains, joining them in their dance forever.

But never mind all that, it’s just another creepypasta, right? Another urban legend. There’s no truth to such things…

But it’s probably a good idea to share it, share it everywhere, just in case. That always breaks the curse…

Right?

Writing Challenges

Are you looking for a way to boost your writing productivity and improve your craft? One idea to consider is taking on daily or monthly writing challenges.

Daily writing challenges can be a great way to build momentum and establish a consistent writing habit. For example, you might set a daily word count goal and write every day until you reach it. Or, you might set aside a specific time each day for writing, such as first thing in the morning or the last hour before bed.

Monthly writing challenges can be a longer-term way to focus on a specific writing goal. For example, you might commit to writing a certain number of words or pages each month, or you might set a goal to finish a specific writing project by the end of the month.

Some other ideas for daily or monthly writing challenges might include:

  • Writing prompts: Choose a writing prompt every day or week and use it to inspire your writing.
  • Creative writing: Write a short story, poem, or other creative piece every day or week.
  • Personal essays: Write a personal essay every week or month, sharing your thoughts and experiences as a writer.
  • Book reviews: Read a book every week or month and write a review of it.
  • Writing resources: Share writing resources that you’ve found helpful, such as writing software, websites, or books.

No matter what type of writing challenge you choose, it’s important to be kind to yourself and remember that the goal is to have fun and improve your craft, not to be perfect.

Writing in 2021 – Week 2 Update

Two weeks have already gone by in January. So, what have I done?! Let me tell you!!!!

First the ‘Meh…” My goal is to hit 10k words of writing a day. I am not there. Right now I’m averaging 3,227 words a day for the year. Which isn’t bad… my worst day this week was only 461 words, and my best was 4,403 words.

What’s holding me back? Editing, cover design, and publishing. That’s not really a big deal, then, because if anything’s killing my word count, it should be releasing books.

Which brings me to this week’s positives. I released three books this week. One was my new horror novel, The Devils of Dedlan Peak. Working on this book gave me the low word counts as I spent some time revising and designing. I also released one book under another pen name and a 3-book bundle for that same author.

So, not a bad week. Not the words I was looking for, but I’m not disappointed over all.

NEW RELEASE: The Devils of Dedlan Peak

Buy on Amazon

There’s something haunting the wilderness of Dedlan Peak. It preys upon anyone entering its territory, leaving a trail of torn-up bodies in its wake.

It’s supposed to be a camping trip for four friends. It’s also supposed to be a reunion between two estranged brothers.

Rob Silva hasn’t seen his brother in five years. He expects Kenny to have changed. He didn’t expect him to be a stranger. Though it looks like Kenny has done well for himself, he won’t talk about where he’s been. And he’s furious Rob’s brought friends.

A camping trip becomes a fight for survival. Can the five discover the truth about their stalker in time?

2021 Week 1 Update

Last week I set a goal of writing an average of 10k words a day. I haven’t achieved that… yet. But I did all right. Here’s what I accomplished:

  • I completed two different books. One was under a pen name, and finished around 20k words (and already published). The other is a new horror novel as myself (i.e. G.S. Wright). Final revisions are happening this weekend, along with my proofreaders doing their thing, and it should be out on Amazon first thing next week, coming in around 30k words. You’ll see the update here when it goes live.
  • Even though I didn’t publish a G.S. Wright book this week, I’m at least off to a good start with the plan of completing one a week.
  • I averaged writing 4,195 words a day, which is incredible for me. My worst day was January 1st, with 1,813, and my best was the 6th, with 7,480 words. I would have hit 10k that day, but I checked the news and got swept up in watching the coverage of the riots in D.C. Overall, a very good week for writing, and well in line with the quantity of many of the past pulp fiction writers, to which I seek to aspire. 🙂
  • Total words for week 1: 29,367.
  • Oh yeah! I almost forgot… I FINALLY got around to releasing the paperback of my last novel, Crawl, which I wrote TWO YEARS AGO! That is how far I’ve set my writing back…2 freakin’ years. Anyway, I’ll post a photo of it when I get my copies.

Goals for week 2:

  • Write and publish 2 pen name books.
  • Write and publish 1 G.S. Wright book (other than the one already written from last week)
  • Steadily increase my average word count above the 4k from the previous week, with days of hitting 10k.

I’m not ready to set any real challenges for myself yet, other than the goals listed above. Right now I’m seeing where my writing takes me, and I am going to change what I wish to write each week until I get a feel more for where I want my writing career to go.

2021 Resolutions

Here we are again, me making resolutions for a new year off writing. But first…

Last year was one of the worst years for my writing. In November, I decided to make a change, and starting as of last week, I’m all in.

In the past, I’ve always set word count goals of 1 million words for the year. I’ve hit a quarter of a million I think maybe twice? Maybe…

Anyway, I’m going big this year… 3 million.

Part two of this resolution is to write every day. I need to hit an average of 10k words a day to reach 3 million.

The third part of this goal is weekly books. That might be the craziest part.

Also I’m dividing my time between two pen names. Of course the only part this blog will focus on is the G.S. Wright books.

Anyway, follow me on Instagram or my Facebook page (and maybe Twitter) to watch how my year goes. Or here. It’s all good. I’ll try to keep this site updated frequently.

Maybe in the next day or two I’ll set down some more concrete challenges, particularly on a monthly scale.

Until then, I wish you a Happy New Year. 😁

Writing Update Sept 25, ’20

I don’t do these updates nearly enough anymore. I used to do them on Mondays, but I’m gonna move them to Fridays.

Sharkbait

This week, I uploaded updated files for my novel Sharkbait on Amazon. This update fixes a bunch of errors that slipped past the initial editing and proofreading phase. this current version is 1.1.

I believe you can redownload or update the ebook on your kindle ebook device.

All future paperback purchases should be version 1.1 also.

Crawl

I am also nearly done with the paperback edition of Crawl. I wrote this book last Spring – not 2020 Spring, but 2019 Spring – and am just now getting around to getting it in paperback. I have been so distanced this year from my writing that I seriously forgot. Hopefully that’s changing.
