How do you recover from being in such a dark space, after writing about your psychopathic characters? Is your creativity driven by pure imagination, or are you more inspired by watching crime shows, like Dexter?
They say write what you know and I can see major pieces of you in your characters, but they all have their own unique POVs and definitely are not you. How do you add parts of yourself over several series and yet not create a samenesss.
I've read your books on writing and you said you use note cards, I'm getting bogged down in the silly "hows" of outlining/plotting/rearranging .. I'd love some tips on this. Where do I do it? On a separate word doc? On a notebook? But then if I want to move things around how? Cross it off and smush it in on another page? If I'm using note cards do you have them stuck on a big board? I'm finding in the story I'm working on that I could benefit from some housecleaning to keep track of where I am and where I'm trying to get to. TIA!
