Method Writing?

Some actors like to use "Method Acting" when they take on a new role. This typically involves immersing themselves into the character and trying to think and act like them. This can sometimes create a more powerful performance from the acting perspective.

Now, obviously, I'm not going to go around and kill people since I'm writing about a serial killer. What I can do is try to create a dark mood. How can I do that? Well music is a very powerful thing. Different styles of music can invoke different feelings. Additionally, watching dark stuff like episodes of "Snapped" or reading darker books, like "Heartsick" can also help.

What I'm driving at here is that I am trying to think like my characters think. Trying to put myself in their position and if I were them, how would I think and act? If I can do that, I may be able to create a tighter integration between the characters and the characters coming to life.

This should be interesting....
