I have a book at my house that's very Gothic and it scares me to no end. Each time I read it I get nightmares. Would reading gothic fiction help me out with pasta writing. After all I have been told a lot that reading scary things help you form a scary story. Maybe it would be best if I took a break from reading from the site and practice this style I might be able to get some writing experience. I won't plagiarize anything don't worry. I'm not that type of writer.

If any of you have any feed on whether this would help or not please let me know. I also would like some tips on how to create suspense and how to move a story along at a steady pace. I never want to rush a story or make it to slow. I also had an issue with getting caught up in detail. So if I could receive some helpful advice and tips I would appreciate it. I have red the sights blogs on writing advice, yet it still didn't help me much.
