I've been naked in Scotland and it wasn't half bad! (and I had NO IDEA that JD Salinger was a fellow bath writer00I'm thrilled!)<br /><br />Elizabeth... yes! fun to kill on paper! Or so I keep trying to convince myself... I actually still have a very hard time with it. Since I don't write murders, it means one of my characters either needs to kill or die! (other than the one witnessed, but as it was the poor boys father, it was still rather horrible of me)Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-89878823686129541132009-11-19T20:39:15.657-05:002009-11-19T20:39:15.657-05:00Oh, it's FUN to kill people on paper!

The best books were developed in the tub, among them the lesser-known "Catcher in the Rye."<br /><br />Yes: Evilness is a luxury afforded only we domesticated lower middle-class writers. Everyone else has to pay penance.<br /><br />Yes: Writing workshops are invaluable. I completed a book in four to five months thanks to my writing comrades. Even better if you have a pool of regular reviewers.<br /><br />No: Nudism doesn't work in Scotland. Half the populace would die of pneumonia.M.J.
