Good day,
It's Goth Monday!
While scanning websites I located so interesting material.
Wikihow.com gives instructions on 'how to write Gothic Fiction;.http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Gothic-Fiction
Have you read this article? Do you agree? Disagree? Is there a template of excellent fiction?
I believe the elements in each genre are what a reader is hungry for. However, the storyline, can never be developed from a template.
What about the genre itself?
Has the genre evolved since "Dracula" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was written? Or, in your opinion, has it spun into an entirely 'un-gothic direction?
Is "American Gothic" the new Gothic?
Top Ten Gothic Films Agree?
Worst Gothic Films I liked 'Mary Reilly'. Even though I am not a Julia Roberts fan, I found the take on the story very thought provoking. I also felt that"Lady Frankenstein", it was a little disturbing (I have difficulty with Frankenstein and the abandonment issue evolving around of Victor and the Monster, anyway). However, I didn't think is should be on this list.
Readers, what are you thoughts?

Goth Monday--Gothic Rose
All~
It's Goth Monday!
I located a website with a tutorial program (free) if you are interested in learning to sketch a Gothic rose.
I found this helpful, because I am not much of an artist. I like to add an additional touch when autographing my print books. http://www.dragoart.com/tuts/22325/1/1/how-to-draw-a-gothic-rose.htm
If you need additional tutoring (Connie is raising her hand), here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nUsb-C9o44
I located another site about Gothic Arcitecture. This site provided pictures and detailed information and photos of Gothic architecture. For those of us not inclined to visit overseas to verify specific details in our WIP. This site will provide a great way to complete that scene.
