The most recent involved chess and the old west. Odd combination for sure but original I hope. Typing I am. :)David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-85968722329470518362010-07-15T16:59:42.711-04:002010-07-15T16:59:42.711-04:00Thanks, Donna.

I told them, "I think about someone I'd like to kill and ask myself 'what if?'" <br /><br />People tend to back away at that point. Strange. <br /><br />BTW- I really appreciated your answer on SEOs on MurderMustAdvertise. <br /><br />Donna GlaserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-9613610922987739352010-07-15T10:46:01.619-04:002010-07-15T10:46:01.619-04:00Good point, Ron.

I dreamed an amazing and very clever horror story (two terrific twists at the end) last night, something I would probably never write in waking life. I blame it on Alex Sokoloff describing her next three scary books on the Sisters in Crime e-list earlier this week.Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-53924465539637274472010-07-15T10:28:41.604-04:002010-07-15T10:28:41.604-04:00I've heard it said that everyone comes up with...I've heard it said that everyone comes up with ideas for stories. They do it every night as they dream. Writers, I think, are able to keep that dreaming faculty going while awake.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-23188898370685004902010-07-15T08:50:23.059-04:002010-07-15T08:50:23.059-04:00Thanks for pointing out that a reasonable question...Thanks for pointing out that a reasonable question deserves a kind and respectful answer. When non-writers ask where ideas come from, they're paying a compliment. After writing for several years, I still wonder where many of my ideas come from, especially those that pop up when I'm in cooking or driving or talking with my husband.
