As a Writing.com newsletter editor, I'm always on the search for something that is worth writing about. There are times I fail  and then there are times where I've hit the jackpot! This is one of those I've-hit-the-motherload type of newsletters.
At first, I searched for something, anything, and as is usual with me around this site, I go to random places. I found blog posts and found one by 👼intueyLet Your Light Shine  . By the time I've stumbled upon her entry, I've long forgotten about my actual search. Once I started reading "Mother Fell Down and Hit Her Head ... Again and Again" my memory came back, but also, the shock of reading about someone who had been able to cross that line and commit murder entered my mind.
When we write we write many things from experience, the other side of the story is imagination. Writing about crime and murder is rather a lot of research, questions, contemplation. Not actually doing the deed so we can publish something we've experienced firsthand. That's rather unthinkable, but there you have it. Someone crossed the threshold and wrote about it. To top it off, they became rather famous.
Last thing I'd like to do is to even make a remote suggestion in committing a crime for writing purposes. That would be insane. Don't commit a crime just for research purposes. What shocks me even more is the fact that someone made the executive decision to publish it. Personally, while I'm curious about the book, I'd rather not support a murderer. Would you?
Each story written and written well requires in-depth research, exploration, thought to make it real. As writers we pride ourselves on knowing more than the average person when it comes to certain things, mainly because we like to read random things at random times. While power is power in some situations, the power of knowledge is yours to have if you want it. There's no need to do the deed in order to acquire it.
'til next time!
