… I’m a writer. At least I hope to be.
I often have ideas pop into my head that would make the average person cringe at the thought of them. The opening credits to the TV show Castle feature the main character saying, “There are two types of people that sit around all day thinking of ways to kill people: psychopaths, and mystery writers.” Personally, I’m not so sure it involves all that much sitting around and thinking to come up with the actual killing. It’s the getting away with it that takes all the time.
When I say that the ideas pop into my head I mean it. There are times that I’ll start talking to someone and form some elaborate demise as I’m talking, but have no idea where it’s going. I’m thinking about five words ahead of what I’m saying, and when I finally get to the end, I get That Look.
