So Have You Killed Anyone Lately?
I know I haven't, and that's a real problem.
Yesterday, was it? I was looking at some awards page -- the awards will be given out this September. The call was out for readers to nominate their favorite books. Well, I immediately started thinking about writing to the folks on my mailing list. Then I read further. The books had to have been published within the last year. Gulp. That definitely left me out.
I'm stuck between the almost done rewrites on one book and the beginning of another one. Typical.
Meanwhile, time. is. flying. by. and I'm getting terribly rusty. It isn't easy to kill a character, you now. You have to get to know them, get to know their killer, too, try to figure out why and how and when their paths cross.
Then of course, there's all that detecting that has to go on. Very easy for a logical mind, but I'm not logical. Never pretended to be. So my solutions don't make sense. My plots don't either.
But let's not get into that.
