Just another damn group blog!
My, my, it’s been a long week. Brutal training and testing going on at work. Family issues on the side. And snow and cold, and more snow and cold.
Good thing I have something to look forward to.
This weekend I’m going to murder someone.
It’s pretty much all set. A small detail or two yet to be worked out, but I’ll enjoy doing that. And I never worry about getting caught. I’ve half beaten to death or killed—what? Three or four people? It’s gotten good to me. I want more.
You know what I’m talking about. That sense of quietly justified revenge. Secretly venting a little anger. Actually understanding a little of the homicidal instinct, and the satisfaction of getting away with it.
A chick from high school who thought she was all that. I’m going to bleed her out very soon. A guy from college, God’s gift to women. Shot him. A self-proclaimed sex-addict. Hooked him up with someone that made him seem like an amateur, and dropped a ceiling on him in the process. My last supervisor who was, I’m sorry to say, a total nimrod. In my last incubus story he was insulted, abused, bitten, and nearly choked to death.
The good news is, it didn’t really hurt him a bit.
The better news is, I had such a good time writing it.
The best news is, it’s cheaper than therapy or drugs.
I’m not normally spiteful, but hey—the venue is there! So far, the current wip series has a staking, slashing of jugular vein, shotgun blast to the knee, bloodsucking, and decapitation.
And yes, a couple of the characters remind me of people I’ve known.
It’s warmed up this frosty ol’ winter! :tysm:
So come on. Confess. You’ve used people you know in some guise in your stories, haven’t you?
Have you used them badly?
Have you enjoyed it? Tell us about it!

Oh yes! That secret delight! How one’s lips curve in a feral grin of sadistic satisfaction as one types those sentences!

So last fall I’m at my kid’s football game and for some inexplicable reason a parent for the other team is sitting behind a few of us. Through out the ENTIRE game he kept yelling at his kid “Freight train” (who names them that) I was so sick of it by the end that very night I went home and wrote a scene where a frieght train derails.
Many a time I have offed my hubby–he knows it too (My twin book where on is killed… the dh is a twin–no stretch there)*Bwwaahhh* sleep w/ one eye open dear.
yes a good-legal–way to vent!

Ok, Dennie, I just love you.
Not only to off the dh a few times–but to tell him so?
Awesome, lol!

Oh… hell yeah! I had my Djinn, Layla, put a few models of real life customers I’ve dealt with into gerbil balls – you may remember the time from reading my blog, Raine.

Making someone you despise into a red shirt is fun, but there are other, more satisfying ways to deal with them in a story that take longer, inflict more suffering and don’t involve homicide.
Or so I’ve heard.

Lynn, I always love the way your mind works!
Happy sigh…

I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about, Raine.
I have no homicidal yearnings, in fact whenever I write violent scenes I have to keep my eyes closed to protect my delicate sensibilities.
