I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.
My goodness, it was a busy week in weird! Just the world weather wackiness alone left me flabbergasted. But the silly season is most certainly upon us. This is an extra jam-packed edition today. Thanks for reading Sharon's Strange Times! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
Looking back at 2023, the article I'm most proud of writing is my profile of Austin #drag queens. While this wasn't my article with the biggest impact this year, or one that's garnered any award nominations, it meant so much to me that the @TexasObserver supported the almost six months I spent getting to know members of this community and learning their stories. https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-drag-queens-defy-ban?utm_campaign=mastodon
Thanks to a great boost yesterday from the write-up @yoniden posted, I had one of my best days of the month streaming. Now I'm within ~50 streams of my usual monthly goal and I am asking for your help to get me across the line. Just two days left...
Especially relevant to new followers and I picked up like 10 yesterday, so...
Looking for a writing friend. Someone I can chat with about writing, projects, and stuff like that. I write horror and weird fiction, but I'll talk to anyone from any genre. Let me know if you're interested. #fiction#writing#horror#weird#WritingCommunity#Writers#books
Lots of weird, scary and bizarre stuff in this week's edition of WWN. Buckle up, it's a roller coaster - animal thiefs, more alligators, thrift shop surprises, deadly snack food, and, suddenly, gnomes.
If you're looking for something #weird and #experimental for your #BandcampFriday list, try out The Alchemical Process of Modular Synthesis, my second release of 2023. I didn't heavily promote this one, because a) it came hot on the heels of my premier 2023 release, Psychedelic Ghost Stories, and I was more keen to get the word out on that one, and b) because it's pretty out there and likely to alienate a fair number of listeners 😅
Did you ever have a classmate that pretended to be a vampire or some other supernatural creature? How much did they commit to it?
