why I feel like a writer (sometimes).
J (on vacation this week) and I took the kids out for a late lunch today. As we exited my car and got over the breath-sucking 95°(F) humid air, we saw a couple step out of a giant white SUV near us. They were dressed in a business-like manner. All proper and neat and such.
J: I hope they didn’t get dressed up to come here. [Casual yet incredibly delicious Mexican restaurant]
Me: No… they obviously came from work… from some office. And that’s not his wife. It’s some coworker with whom he’s having an affair.
J: So they came here in plain sight in the middle of the afternoon?
nice gun. guns?
Me: They don’t have to worry about the wife catching on because he already murdered her. They’re here to celebrate. But the celebration will be cut short when sexy McGarrett and the Five-0 team show up.
J: You’ve lost it.
Me: Yeah, I know. That can’t be right… we don’t live in Hawaii. Sucks.
J: Yeah, that’s the issue. Seriously… what is wrong with you?
Me: I write stories. And I watch too much television.
[Also, bite me.]
[Okay, I did not say the ‘bite me’ part. But I thought it.]
[I know I’m not special… I’m sure many of you invent stories about random people… but I wanted to share with people who ‘get me’… plus I love my fantasy man…]
save me, you sexy beast.

what sandra thinks 
Maybe there is “something wrong with me” 😉 because I do this all the time and I am no writer , and I don’t watch much television 🙂
Love your fantasy man 🙂

I’ve always thought that about you. And me. 😀 Hey, did you know… my fantasy man is Australian so he’s got a sexy voice… he plays guitar (yum)… and maybe best of all… he surfs! Perfect!

Reminds me of last summer when a couple of my writing sisters and I were plotting in an AirBnb. The hosts were home, and listening to three women talk about stalkers, dead bodies, and best ways to kill someone.
We reassured them we were writers. No, really, we were just plotting.
Or were we? Mwahahahaha!
And I have a soft spot for Aussie men as well. Alex O is a fine speciman. Very fine. Mmmmm….

That’s so funny! I think if I’d been one of those hosts, I may have started to panic!
Yes… Alex. One needs inspiration, you know? Especially when writing certain sorts of scenes… especially those involving nudity!

I like what you say in your bio, that you “think too much”. I get accused of that all the time, and need to remind people it isn’t a crime. It makes a good writer.
