Sue's Corner, part 1: "It’s not me, it’s Sue"

I started this story because I thought it’d be funny to see how Sue would solve the world’s problems. I was mainly, obviously, inspired by “Sue’s Corner” on Glee. Just keep in mind that I wrote the chapters from the point-of-view of Sue Sylvester, and that I’m not normally that… Sue-ish. The whole story is written like “What would Sue say?”

Rules for Being a Horror Movie Character, part 1: "It’s all so cliché"

I came up with the idea of rules for surviving as a horror movie character one evening after one of my younger sister’s school choir concerts. We’d come home after it ended, and I saw a Turner Classic Movies channel special about Stephen King talking about the movies that influenced his writing style. At one point, he mentioned horror movie clichés, so I created my own list of these stereotypes and clichés and made them into a horror movie survival guide.
