I needed to know the kinds of questions one would ask and what the environment was like. The whole thing was a little creepy for me and I think she suspected something was amiss.

I was too normal. :)Jessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-63998101621873646552014-04-15T09:55:17.942-07:002014-04-15T09:55:17.942-07:00Hi Rachna,

If I'm writing about a toilet brush, I become a toilet brush. I think it's good therapy to just go wherever your writing creativity takes you.<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-83194581298844540832014-04-15T09:14:31.609-07:002014-04-15T09:14:31.609-07:00I once read about someone who was writing a charac...I once read about someone who was writing a character who was kidnapped, so she tied herself to a chair to see what it would feel like.

Usually I try to relate the emotion of the day to my own experience as a family historian. Unfortunately today nothing is coming to me.
