Do you love it, think it, write it? Do your friends and family know?
I was telling a friend that if Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho came to my house for Thanksgiving I'd have a twinge handing him the knife to butcher, er, carve the bird.
OTOH, my readers and audience prefer my violent scenes, preferable those with a few strokes of sex mixed in.
I've found that with all of my family gone now, I feel even freer to write the dark stuff. I've heard other authors say this. There are several books on the market on adult orphans; I'm waiting for my big wild "mommy can't see me" streak to hit hard. I see it coming.
I look honest and sweet to people. I smile, I'm soft spoken, I'm comppassionate. I look at photos of myself and think, "What an angelic countenance..."
I desire to write and publish more of the horrors (violence, psychosis, evil, nightmares) that have lurked in thought since I was two or younger; as far back as I can recall. If I believed in reincarnation I'd say I was reincarnated cuz how else could I know all this stuff? Well...my oldest brother was a sociopathic schizo...and there's more personal experience. But a lot of it I believe I was born with.
Curious if any of the rest of ya have ramblings, experiences on writing the darkness.
I'm not into horror genre, but I do enjoy seeing my audience raise their eyebrows and hearing them laugh nervously when my character turns more violent than her attacker. Yeah!
