I've been at this writing thing much longer than my arrival to Open Salon might lead you to believe.  Even though I have poor spelling and atrocious grammer and punctuation skills I've been doing this since the 1960's.  Okay , granted that in the aforementioned 60's I was a child and wrote mostly in school for grades I still have been a student of the art most of my life.

I never claimed to be the worlds greatest author or even good at it, but still I struggle to come up with topics and tales that might interest someone or provide a bit of information or education if read.  

The old adage has always been, "Write what you know" I've tried to do that.  Fiction is a beast that frightens me greatly since my own method is to try and inhabit the minds of my characters.  When one of those characters turns out to be a serial killer it makes for some strange nightmares so I've been a little lax in producing installments of my first try at a thriller "Hot Chocolate".

So, I really don't know much about the serial killing business although I admit that I read a few "True Crime" paperbacks in search of information in how those people think.

The point here is that I am just writing a story, I might make mistakes in things or circumstances since I am not a serial killer or policeman engaged in the hunt for them.  Why am I writing this particular post?  Simple, I needed to get some writing practice in and get used to being more active in the writing thing again.  If I've bored you or you feel misled then my apoologies, I was just doing what I have been told to do, if I can't think of anything to write about then write about writing.
