The horror! I've forgotten I have a writer's blog again! I'll never get anywhere as an author like this. I can see it now, holed up in some dingy little apartment with my nine cats and my tv, friendless, hopeless, alone.... a total failure.
Hmmmm.... actually, can I sign up for that? Would that be bad? I've got five kids running around this house (six if you count my husband) and more extended family than is natural who keep dropping in at any hour of the day and night. Is it possible to have a life that is over peopled? I'm thinking suffering for my art is taking the unique form of what could be too much family.
Maybe that's why my writing centers around family. They say write what you know and so crazy family situations seems to be what comes out in what I write.
Incidentally, I may have mentioned this before, but what I set out to write each time are mysteries. Yep. I start out with a great murder or crime and what happens? The characters take over and I come out with.....? Family Drama? Is there a genre with that title? Can I invent one? Is that ok with everyone?
