Day - 26

Inside the mind of a serial murderer. That is what I'm attempting to do with Red Bow. Ted Dekker has done a great job of getting into the mind of serial killers. So why do I have the fascination? I think they are very complex and methodical. From reading different books and doing research, serial killer typically have a reason for killing. Maybe it's an addiction, like Dexter has. Maybe it's triggered by a traumatic event, like a loved one getting killed. Whatever the reasoning, there is usually a method to their madness. Then again, there are the circumstances where people are just crazy nuts and kill for no reason. However, I think that is actually rarer than people think.

I find it kind of ironic that I, being very anti-violence and get skittish around needles, like to write about these types of stories. Maybe it's all of the horror movies I've seen. Maybe it's all of the episodes of Snapped I watch. I don't know, but for those people who know me, they will probably say that I'm very quiet and laid back and have never displayed any inkling of violence. That is what is so great about writing. I don't have to be a serial killer to write about one. I just have to have the imagination to create a story about one. Maybe that makes me weird. Or maybe that makes me creative. It has sure worked for Ted Dekker, so why can't it work for me?
