I was always a fan of horror. Ever since I was 4, I was fascinated by being scared. By being frightened. My mom used to buy me the Goosebumps audio books and tapes. I would watch and listen to some. Maybe 2 out of 100 would scare me. Yeah, I wasn't easy to scare.

For a long time, I would look for the scariest movies. I can say I've seen about four horror movies that I actually found scary.

Now as a 15-year-old girl in 2016, you can say it's difficult to find a good scary movie. That's why I switched to books. I found this website called Wattpad. It's a site where you can read a lot of books for free. It only took me 20 minutes to find a good book. One good book led to many. I became addicted to reading horror books on the site. Did they scare me? No...Not until I found her.

Ms_Horrendous. That was her username on Wattpad. Her real name was Jakayla Toney. By her username, you could tell she is a horror writer.

When I first found Jakayla, I almost ignored her books. That is until I read one of her short horror stories. It was called, The Wall. Now, her grammar was a bit off, but when I finished her story...WOW was I over amazed. I read her whole series of short horror stories. After reading her book of short stories, I was almost afraid to read them at night. I started thinking about them before bed and became paranoid.

After completing all of her short horror stories and two of her completed books, I became inspired to write my own stories. With Wattpad, you can read and publish your own stuff. I followed Jakayla and kept up with her readings, becoming more and more inspired each day by her creativity.

I started my own story. I named it, The Girl Next Door. It was my very first online horror novel. After four chapters into it, I developed writer's block. Sheesh writing a book was not easy. Jakayla made it look so easy, so did all my other favorite writers. I needed help.

I decided to message Jakayla one day.

"Hey? Can I ask you something?" I asked.

It shocked me how fast she responded. "Hey there! Sure:)"

A smiley face. She was so nice. "I think I have really bad writer's block and I'm out of ideas. How do you make it look so easy? What inspires you?" I asked.

She didn't reply as fast as the first time. Actually, she didn't really reply at all. I was a bit upset about that. Where did she go so fast? How can someone reply in one second then disappear the next? I laughed to myself at the thought.

I reread some of Jakayla's short stories to get ideas. There was one story about this creature who had six black holes as eyes instead of two. I knew it'd be bad if I copied the whole idea, but hey what if I threw in my story a creature with four black holes as eyes instead of six. It can't be that bad to do such? Right?
