Blogtoberfest – Five Scary Movies – Mya Lairis

My top five scary movies are: 1. Trilogy of Terror– is my all time scary movie. There is just something about that damn doll, like maybe it gnawed my ankles off in a past life or something but I have only watched this film once. Trying to get up the nerve to do it again, but…that doll! 2.

5 Gifts for Writers

It’s that time of year again. Shoppers are hitting the stores and the Internet to look for the perfect gift for that special someone.

Usually these movies are a couple years old, if not older, but today you have a special treat. Since I’m doing Five Fandom Friday, come with me to the future as I discuss the films I’m looking forward to this year. Get Out From Wikipedia: A young African American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate where he learns that many of its residents, who are black, have gone missing, and he soon learns the horrible truth when another frantic African-American warns him to “get out”.

5 Fandom Friday – Goals for 2017

It’s been a while since I posted a 5 Fandom Friday, but this is as good time as any to get back into the swing of things. Plus, if I type up these goals, I have something to refer back to as the year goes on. While I love some sticky notes, nothing is more permanent than the Internet. Here goes My first goal for the year is to buckle down in the writing game. Due to some bad health news in 2016, I’ve been very spotty with writing and submitting/publishing. In 2017, I plan to: Complete and submit at least three short stories Complete and publish two novels that have been hanging around on my hard drive for at least three years Complete the third book/story in the Tea and Tomahawks series/universe Complete a novella that I started last year. The second goal for the year is to
