That's awesome. I wish you the best of luck with the writing and I hope you get enough time each day to jot something down. Horror and comedy are the two genres I enjoy the most because I have no idea how they are written. Horror because at some point it seems to devolve into a gore-fest and the line between horror and shock-value seems impossible. Comedy because I can understand one-liners and puns, but somehow stringing them together into narratives seems just as impossible as knowing when how much eyeball juice coming out of your horror character's impaled eyeball is too much eyeball juice.

Would you say it's rougher than the time commitment you had when you were a paramedic? Though working at home does come with some benefits that are hard to quantify. Would you say this is something you see yourself doing for the next 10 years or so (career) or do you have plans for bigger and better things?

How does your work affect your schedule? As in: Is it a daily 9-5 thing or are you expected to come out whenever needed, regardless of the time or day? Is it a mix where some days you're on the clock and others you're the one on-call? Do you get a certain amount of guaranteed time off per week/month/year? Do you have time to engage in hobbies/a second job/whatever?

"As the corpse's putrefying eyeballs succumbed under their own tremulous weight, ejaculating their juice across the room in great heaves and swells, our heroine began to wonder if perhaps more sinister forces were at work..."

I can see how your job can supply you with plenty of fodder for horror, but do you get a lot of humor as well? Is it mainly mortician humor you come across, or the ridiculous stuff like that guy who fireballed his car off the bridge?

Most embarrassing thing you believed as a youth?
