day in a life

A cup of coffee and a serial killer

Rating: 3 votes, 5.00 average.
I decided to finally start re-writing a story I wrote (or started to write) years ago about a serial killer, think it will just be a short story but we'll see were it leads me. I want it to take place in late 1800 or early 1900 but I don't know all that much about life in these times so maybe I wont focus on a time frame. I want to explain things from the killers and the detectives perspective but I have never written a story like that so I don't know maybe I should read some books like that to see how I want it to be, then again maybe I should just write it anyway I want and see how it comes out, luckily the magic of computers allows you to change your opinion....

Snati, the dog that was in a car accident is doing so well it's amazing, he was the second best dog in a dog show a week ago and the judge told my friend that the only reason he wasn't best is because he got tired and started protecting himself a little so his walk wasn't perfect after 30 laps. it was almost a month since his accident and he was second best! and one vet just wanted to kill him when this happened that guy can just eat my........

it's pouring down rain and I just love sitting in my living room at the dining table listening to the rain, drinking coffee and writing or reading.

I think Murakami is my current favourite, I loved the book I just read by him and I'm gonna find more when I get the chance.

A while back I was very depressed and things were just going so bad for me and I quit school and didn't work for a while but then I got pregnant and had my boy and for some reason that changed so much, I'm not saying I wasn't depressed anymore but now I had a reason to hold on and make things work. Now last summer I was getting very low again and almost hated my boyfriend and a few times just wanted to kick him out but now when fall is coming and I know winter is around the corner I feel so much better. I was talking to a friend of mine and we were reading about so called 'summer depression' and we think that's what we both have in a way, people seem to let loose in the summer and do things they don't normally do, things just go wrong during the summertime and I don't know... Winter brings stability to peoples life and a certain calm comes with the snow and the frost. I love how it's getting dark at night now. During the summer it's bright all night long it's like the sun dosen't set. I just love winter.

    I agree with the "just write" attitude. Reading stories in that genre might be helpful, but you might get some conventions stuck to your boot and you don't want to track that into the house now do you. It's fiction, mix and match time periods.



    I love doing that as well.

    I've had the same discussion with a few of my friends, but that chill that met me as I walked outside Monday morning waved my blues away.

    Good to hear about Snati. For me it's the opposite. I can't stand winter. Either way Helga, there's something wrong if you reach such depressed periods.

    Helga, Sounds like you can get pretty depressed. I call what you experience- funks. When I am that way, I just don't want to interact with anyone for 2 months. I find everything irritates me. Good support and for some people meds, can help. I haven't taken meds, but I have been known to secretly smoke cigarettes. Glad you are looking to thr change pf weather, I am too.
