a
little dark and twisty makes an appearance….
It is a good thing no
one can see or hear what really goes through my mind sometimes. On one hand I am a death investigator – I am one of the good
guys right? But as an aspiring writer and mystery fan I often find myself
taking notes while watching TV of ways to kill people or dispose of remain., Or
as I drive by remote areas, ravines, and bodies of water I often find myself
thinking “that would be a good place to dump a body”… don’t get me wrong I am still one of the good
guys and have NO intention of really killing anyone – but the writer in me
is always thinking and plotting and sometimes it is quite the conflict in my
head – which
sometimes unfortunately makes me laugh out loud! Of course I can’t answer what made me laugh was the thought
of where to dump a body when I am at work so I just sound crazy in my
cubicle! I once commented to a friend, “since you can’t (shouldn’t) kill them for real, and you can’t kill them with kindness – kill them on paper – it’s very therapeutic and a great creative
writing exercise” LOL! Of course
it may be good to destroy the evidence! Makes me wonder how many of the
tortured victims in my favorite mystery novels were modeled after someone’s adversary? We all know many a story’s hero is modeled after a real person – why not the victim?
Hmmm for those of you
NOT good at reading between the lines, yes, I tend to get a bit irritated at
some of my coworkers... if you could see how I interact with them and the
kindness I show you might suggest I go into acting instead of writing. I am a
firm believer of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer! One of my coworkers is one of those people who is too dangerous as an enemy. The
kind of person who keeps notes on what people do or say and especially people’s mistakes or anything inappropriate they
say or do to her. She also loves to go through people’s papers and any drawer unlocked. I can’t count the times I have worked on a file that is
past due then left on my desk overnight only to coincidentally suddenly receive an
email from supervision about the status of that file. Either she is going through my desk once
again or there is a hidden camera at my desk. When I complete my first murder
mystery guess who will likely be the first to die... although that might end up
being too anticlimactic....
In a promo for the
show Criminal Minds they say the only thing scarier than the mind serial killer
is the people hunting them – that sounds about right! Perhaps the same can be said about "those who write" about them too!!!!
