Consider the thoughts your character would go through when something horrible goes down.
You want what happens to be terrifying, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be horrible. What I mean by that is you can have a scene that’s scary, but in that scene, no one dies or gets hurt.
Give your readers a break from horror every now and then. This should go for every genre, and a great way to do it is by making sub-plots.
Make it realistic. Even if it’s about the zombie apocalypse, or something that can’t actually happen. The supernatural has it’s own set of rules, and you need to ensure that the story isn’t so far-fetched that it makes no sense.
Don’t add anything for shock value. Readers notice when you’re trying to be edgy.
Give your character something to lose. Gore and violence aren’t as terrifying to read as knowing your character can lose everything they love at any moment.
Get the reader invested in the character.
You want the reader to have questions, but don’t want them to be confused. So don’t reveal everything too soon, but don’t reveal too little. This will help add suspense

We intend to stay after tumblr’s titty purge. We will however, expand to other platforms. We already have a TWITTER up and running and are working on Instagram and releasing our podcast as well!
We got Tumblr’s attention with our past peaceful protest campaigns

Maybe it is time we use our beloved Tumblr to protest this sexist policy that marks female nipples as porn. Tumblr is being extreme in what its decision and policies, and is using a useless algorithm that sees Rothko paintings (see @dailyrothko) and flowers and all kinds of non-porn images as porn.
So, on Monday, 12-17-18, we should not post anything on Tumblr, except the above photo, which is available here. NOTE: You can also add these to your avatar to let anyone who visits your site know about this.
As this post suggests, if we have a queue with images, we should add this one to 12-17-18. As part of our protest, we should not do anything on Tumblr for the whole day: no dashboard, no posts, no comments, chat, replies.
Nothing on Tumblr, all day, M, 12-17-18.
Also,please think about putting @staff & @support on any and all reblogs of this and any on any posts about this, since this will send them a direct notification of each and every post about this. We need to flood their dashboards so they see we are upset.
