Gosh, somehow I missed your post J2mirish and now that I've read it I'll tell ya you put a smile on my face :blushing: . Thanks for the heartfelt compliment.
I think if we can visualize something it seems to make more sense. It's not hard to do if you really are passionate about what has happened and you maybe relate to the victim and her state of pregnancy, and then realize how this killer only cared about himself and was probably scared shi*less but did it anyway - with a little toddler and her family's dear old dog in relatively close proximity. It is absolutely outlandish when you think of it.
And then with your eyes wide open you write what you see. Whether it's a small boat running through the choppy, black waters of San Francisco Bay out to the sinking grounds with his pregnant wife in tow aside the boat, or a shriveled old man watching TV in his room with a very special young girl from nextdoor shackled in the closet, wasting away. You just have to feel what it was that griped your soal. And then sit down at your keyboard.
