I am Writer, Read my Fiction / 1990 / Writing Blog / Horror Blog

Name a fond flashback that  helps define you?

Yesterday I took liberties to ask for feedback and created a poll. Now, I'm going to give you a glimpse of my past. This is a cliff's notes version of events that helped form who I am today. It's a quick read. Here's my Flashback!

First year of writing seriously. Seventeen.

This was one of two times, as a minor, where I met others who I connected with. Thad, Chris (who I knew since grade school), Shawn, Tom and a few others stepped into my life. 

Writing was an outlet, I had written a list of certain clothes, like a stalker, that another student wore to school each day of the week, looking for patterns in clothing choice, I probably have the notepad buried in a tote in my shed. I was also fascinated about the new serial killer Jeffery Dahmer, the first cannibal I'd ever heard about, that was on the news. I remember my friends huddling around my Tandy computer in my bedroom. I was writing a piece about Jimmy (me), and them. In the story I was the owner of a bar and all of us heard a wolf howling, that bar is Agent Orange which you will find peppered in some of my fiction. The place is a bar in Stevats. Of course the Wolfe was a nude female in the parking lot that would belong to Jimmy, because he found her. My head was an experiment of angst and perversion that often translated to the page. I also wrote a piece about a horny teenager that watched females jog through a prestigious neighborhood. Chris, my mature friend's sister got a hold of the story, read it, and assaulted its perversion. I still get a chuckle thinking about it, because an outsider to my group actually read a story I wrote.

That's it, that is the end of today's flashback. Now, if you want a suggestion of what Tim Eagle fiction to read, buy the 38 page sentimental novella titled Life Ship. I think you'll enjoy it. It's on Amazon, look for the title that has an Airstream on the cover. The book is cheap, .99 for the e-book and under $5 for the overly large paperback! Thanks for reading!
