Sometimes I hesitate to give books to my mother or kids because they'll know way too much about how my imagination works! Of course we'd never actually do anything so horrific, but it can be fun thinking about it when you know it's not real!<br /><br />By the way, you share the same last name as my publisher, Lida Quillen. Any relation? <br /><br />Happy writing and come back soon.<br /><br />AaronAaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-53470638688108666372013-03-17T08:51:30.605-04:002013-03-17T08:51:30.605-04:00I am an aspiring writer who cannot get away from w...I am an aspiring writer who cannot get away from writing murder mysteries. Even when I try to write fantasy or sci-fi I end up with someone being murdered. <br /><br />I definitely worry about what prospective readers will think; when I enter my killer's point of view, I come up with things I never knew were in my head, let alone things I would want to share with people. I especially would hope that none of my friends or family think I am contemplating the actions of my characters. I don't think I am a murderer, obviously, but it does leave that question: is there something wrong with me?<br /><br />This question keeps me from sharing a lot of my stories. However, when I do, even when they are gruesome, they are received very well.<br /><br />Anyway, glad I came across your post today, it makes me feel less alone in my head!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682663836186429854noreply@blogger.com
