This week we return to some of my own original writing, and I am really proud of this week's episode.

Struggling with a little bit of writer's block after Christmas, this was the story that pulled me out of my slump and helped get my head back in the game.

Inspired by a random prompt I found online, and written on a bus, and in a tattoo chair during a long session, this was one of the more enjoyable pieces I have had the pleasure of writing recently.

And it got published in Vol. IV of the Dark Corner to boot. I am very excited to share this one

The Muse

A struggling writer is about to hit rock bottom, when a chance encounter with a fan changes the course of his career.

And sometimes a deal is too good to be true.

Just how much of your soul would you be willing to sell chasing that next bestseller?
