In this hauntingly beautiful episode of Writing and Killing Unicorns, we welcome writer Channel Harry to explore the deeply intertwined worlds of horror and healing. Titled We Write in the Dark, this conversation dives into the ways horror allows us to confront trauma, navigate ancestral memory, and survive the shadows of the self.

Channel shares insight on the intersection of ancestry and mental health, unearthing how generational hauntings and personal struggles manifest in both life and story. Together, we discuss how horror, often dismissed as escapism or sensationalism, becomes a transformative space—a genre that doesn’t just terrify, but tends to wounds and makes space for reckoning.

From ghosts of the past to inner monsters, this episode is a meditation on writing as ritual, horror as resistance, and storytelling as a path to wholeness.

Topics Covered:

• Why horror is a powerful tool for healing
• Mental illness, stigma, and the self as a haunted house
• Writing through ancestral trauma and inherited memory
• The personal as supernatural: locating fear in lived experience
• How horror provides a language for the unspeakable
• Crafting stories that confront and transform pain

Writing a self-help book is not what I expected—and honestly, it scares me.

I never saw myself as the kind of person who’d write one, let alone admit out loud that I might have something to say that could help someone else. But here I am. Doing the thing that feels too big, too vulnerable, and too real.

So, Season Two? It’s about unmasking—and then making something out of what’s revealed.

This season isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about honesty. It’s about the sacred work of facing yourself, pulling back the layers, and asking: Now that I see myself clearly, what can I build from here? How can I help others?

I'll be bringing you with me as I write this self-help book in real time—sharing the truth behind the pages. I’ll also be in conversation with other authors about their own creative journeys, the people that were an influence on them, the stories they’ve dared to tell, and how they take care of themselves while doing this work.

We’ll talk about fear, grief, healing, creation, and the quiet power of choosing to keep going.

So if you’re still with me—thank you.
Let’s keep going. Together.

There are two things you need to know before listening to this episode:

1. The zombie apocalypse is over, and it has been for some time.
2. The world doesn’t need a hero.

What it needs—what this episode explores—is something much more human: awkward friendships, fierce loyalty, and flawed people trying to make sense of a broken world.

This week, we talk with author Jack Callaghan about writing horror that isn't just scary—but also deeply honest. Jack’s stories mix undead mayhem with biting humor and real heart, confronting themes of identity, belonging, and survival through characters who feel anything but destined for greatness.

Together, we dig into:

• Whether monsters are stand-ins for society—or just for us
• How the undead offer a mirror to the human condition
• Why weird, fun books can still carry emotional and political weight
• The dance between subtlety and clarity when you’re writing fast and fierce
• How to make meaning without preaching—and how to write with purpose anyway

Plus: zombies, outsider kids, and the moments when symbolism sneaks in through the back door.

We believe good stories don’t have to be tidy, and truth doesn’t always wear a cape. Join us for interviews with genre-defiers, rule-breakers, and writers who kill off more than just their darlings.

In this episode of Writing and Killing Unicorns, I had the absolute honor of speaking with horror writer and cultural storyteller Nadira Jamerson. This conversation left me breathless, grounded, and strangely healed. Nadira opens up about how she uses horror not just to scare—but to unearth, confront, and ultimately mend what’s been broken.

We talk about what it means to be a Black woman writing horror, how trauma and mental health show up in her stories, and the power of ancestral memory and folklore in crafting narratives that hold both shadow and light. She also shares how she protects her spirit while writing deeply emotional and often painful material—and offers guidance for the next generation of Black girls who feel called to the dark.

Some highlights we dig into:

• Horror as a tool for processing pain
• The deep relationship between fear, healing, and identity
• How Nadira's characters act as vessels for shadow work
• Creating boundaries when writing from personal wounds
• The rise of a Black horror aesthetic—and what liberation looks like through that lens

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a reclamation. Tap in.

Welcome to Writing and Killing Unicorns, the podcast where we gut glitter, hunt tropes, and build stories that actually mean something.

In today's episode, I talk with the brilliant Azalea Crowley, a modern fantasy horror romance author who crafts wildly inclusive worlds featuring autistic, disabled, queer, and Filipino/Native Hawaiian characters—and the monsters they love (or become).

We dive deep into:

• How monsters act as metaphors for survival, resistance, and identity
• Writing disability, queerness, and Indigenous experience into magic and horror
• How trauma, healing, and weirdness fuel transformative storytelling
• Building supernatural worlds that embrace accessibility and chosen families
• The radical act of centering marginalized characters as powerful, complex beings

Azalea’s stories tear open old tropes and stitch them back together with claws, chaos, and love—and we talk about all of it.

If you’ve ever wanted your fantasy to bite back—or if you love your monsters messy, magical, and meaningful—you’ll want to stay for this one.

Welcome to Writing and Killing Unicorns, where I serve up the hard truth about writing, no sugarcoating, no fluff. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 10 Don’ts of Being a Successful Writer. This is the kind of tough love every writer needs to hear (and probably needs to stop ignoring). From procrastinating like it’s an Olympic sport, to obsessing over perfection (news flash: your first draft is allowed to suck), I’m shining a spotlight on the habits that are quietly wrecking your writing career—and trust me, you don’t want to be guilty of any of them.

I’m here to call out the things you’re doing that are holding you back, whether you’re stuck in a creative rut, overthinking every sentence, or waiting for “inspiration” to show up like a magic fairy (spoiler: she’s not coming). In this episode, we’re tossing out the excuses, ditching the bad habits, and putting your writing journey on the path to success.

But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom—I’m bringing the laughs, the tough love, and the no-nonsense advice you need to stop spinning your wheels and finally get your work out there. So, grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine, because, hey, we’re writers), and let’s dive into the 10 things you absolutely should NOT do if you want to be a successful writer.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a fresh perspective, a few laughs, and more than enough motivation to stop sabotaging yourself. Ready to stop making excuses and start writing like a boss? Let’s get into it.

Nope.
I could end the podcast there, but let’s be real—where’s the fun in that?

This episode is all about breaking free from the idea that you must commit to one genre for life. Spoiler alert: You don’t. Despite what the "pick it and stick it" crowd says, writing across genres can actually make you a better, more versatile writer.

In This Episode, We Cover:

🖋️ The myth of being stuck in a single genre
🧠 How forcing yourself into one category stifles creativity
🎭 Why writing different genres builds your storytelling skills
🛠️ How exploring new genres can add new tools to your writing toolbox
🚦 Knowing when to experiment and when to commit

You are not just a "romance writer," "sci-fi writer," or "mystery writer." You’re a writer, period. So if an idea in a different genre sparks your interest, don’t fight it—write it.

Got thoughts on today’s episode? Ever felt stuck in a genre and fought your way out? Or are you still trying to figure out if you should switch things up? Drop a comment and let’s chat! I’d love to hear your take—whether you agree, disagree, or just want to share your own genre-hopping adventures.

Hit the comments and let’s talk! 🚀

And don’t forget to tune in next time for "9 Ways to Exercise and Increase Your Creativity." If your creativity feels like it's been skipping the gym, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. In the next episode, we’ll explore fun, practical ways to flex those creative muscles and keep the ideas flowing.

Until then, keep writing, keep experimenting, and most importantly—keep slaying those unicorns. 🦄✍️

Remember: There are no shortcuts to writing. Only the craft.

Welcome back to Writing and Killing Unicorns, the podcast where we embrace the chaos of creativity—despite what it brings along. I’m your host, Nelly, and in today's episode, we're diving into a particularly frustrating aspect of being a writer: Why does inspiration always strike at the most inconvenient times?

From shower thoughts to midnight epiphanies, creative bursts have a knack for appearing when you’re least able to take advantage of them. Why does your muse wait until you’re driving, falling asleep, or attending a funeral to deliver your next big idea? In this episode, The Muse Has Terrible Timing, we explore this infuriating phenomenon and why our brains love to dish out brilliance when we can’t immediately use it.

I also share two personal anecdotes that perfectly highlight the awkward timing of creative moments. From an idea sparked at a family funeral to an unexpectedly hilarious situation during a pap smear (yes, you read that right), the stories will help you feel less alone when your creativity hits at the worst possible time.

Whether you're stuck in traffic, lying in bed, or even in the midst of a medical appointment, you'll want to tune in to hear about how creativity has a mind of its own—and why sometimes it’s best to roll with it.

Highlights:

• My experience with creative bursts during awkward moments.
• Personal insights into embracing your quirks and finding humor in uncomfortable situations.

What was your "why now?" moment of creativity?

Let me know your story! Leave a comment. I want to hear from you!

Stay creative, stay weird, and remember—your muse may not have the best timing, but it's never too late to embrace the chaos!

Editing—every writer’s necessary evil. In this episode of Writing and Killing Unicorns, I sit down with author Jo Salazar to discuss one of the most painful and crucial parts of the writing process: killing your darlings. Whether it’s a beautifully written scene, a beloved character, or a line of dialogue that just doesn’t fit, knowing when to cut and how to do it can make or break a story.

Jo shares her own experiences with tough edits, offering insight into how to recognize what’s holding your story back and how to push forward without losing its heart. Along the way, she and I also dive into writing outside our comfort zones, crafting characters whose experiences differ from our own, and the art of balancing creativity with discipline.

In this episode, we discuss:
📝 What killing your darlings really means and why it’s so difficult
✂️ The first time Jo had to make a tough cut and how it shaped her writing
🔍 How to identify darlings that need to go—questions to ask yourself during edits
💔 The emotional side of editing and strategies for detaching from beloved scenes
📖 Writing characters with different lived experiences—how to approach it authentically
📌 The value of beta readers, editors, and outside feedback in shaping a story
🔄 Deciding whether to cut a scene entirely or rework it to fit the narrative
💡 Why keeping a scrap folder might save your favorite darlings for another story

And of course, I ask Jo: If she could interview any character from The Dead Weight, who would it be and what would she ask? (No spoilers, of course!)

If you’ve ever agonized over cutting a scene you love or struggled with making bold editorial choices, this episode is for you (and me, friend).

Friend,

I'm not trying to be like the "The Art of" book series by Graywolf (an amazing collection of easy-to-read writer guidances though) with the title of these episodes, but there is art in what we do as writers.

Why is it so hard to just finish something? So many writers have struggled for months or even years with finishing one project. I personally struggle with this. Is it because I am afraid I am not good enough? Yes, but it is so much more than that.

In this episode, Ms. Lauren Jackson, a Christian Relationship Coach and People Strategist, guides us through why we may be fearful of completing our work, our relationships, and everything. We start off talking about creating, then dive into relationships even deeper. If you have ever wondered why there are so many aspects of "finishing" this episode is for you.

Lauren Jackson can be followed on the following social media sites:

Here is a list of the questions we cover:
1. Do you find it difficult to embrace conflict?
2. What makes a story amazing?
3. What is the purpose of a good story?
4. How do you battle predictability?
5. How are songs and stories similar?
6. How are songs and stories different?
7. Does music play a role in how you tell a story?
8. What is the narrative arc in a song?
9. What is the importance of storytelling in your life?
10. What are the benefits of storytelling and songwriting?
