The Stray Scribe

Welcome to The Stray Scribe!

I’m Chris — a fantasy author and self-published writer who’s been chasing stories since 2010. Under the name C. Hollis Gunter, I’ve written and published two novels and a handful of short stories, with a third book currently in the works.

This channel isn’t about polished “10 writing hacks” or pretending to have all the answers. It’s about sharing the messy, honest parts of the writing life: the lessons I’ve learned, the mistakes I keep making, the rare wins that keep me going, and the quiet encouragement that reminds us we’re not alone.

Here, you’ll find:
Behind-the-scenes of drafting and editing a fantasy novel
Self-publishing stories (the good, the bad, and the “what was I thinking?”)
Honest conversations about creativity, doubt, and improvement
A place for writers and dreamers to laugh, commiserate, and grow together

New videos twice a month (sometimes more if inspiration strikes).
