The cool thing about being a writer is that you can justify your nosiness.
And plain and simple, I am nosy. I’m curious. I want to know everything about everything…or at least a little.
Since everything is fodder for stories to me, I don’t feel too bad about being nosy any more. But man…some of the questions I’ve asked~whoa.
- to my husband…If you were going to kill a person and try to dispose of the body totally, how would you do it?
- to a lawyer friend I know through my local KYRW chapter…If a person goes missing, how long before they can be legally declared dead?
- to my old boss…How much money do you make a year? YES! I was asking for research sake. I have a lot of characters with a medical-type background.
- to a cop…Do you allow ride-alongs? But I didn’t ask any of the ones who’d pulled me over. That would be too weird.
And those are just the ones that stand out. 😉
