Who knew that I'd have trouble killing off favorite characters? I even have trouble torturing them! Since I love to read whodunits and especially serial killer and forensics stuff, this just amazes me. While I'm not diabolically evil, I'm no goody-two-shoes. A little tasering, a few bullets; it's fiction. What could it hurt? I should be able to do this.
Of course, the first character I was trying to off is based on a good friend. Thinking that must be the issue, I moved on to the next character, who was purely fictitious. But no, I had to go take a walk and several deep breaths before I could wreak havoc upon her. And then I felt guilty.
There is definitely something wrong with me, and the prognosis isn't good. Hmmmm...how to become more evil? Ideas, anyone? Please save me from a life of writing cookbooks!
