Fun writing moments
There are moments when I'm writing or researching for a book that might make a sane observer go, "Um, the hell?" For instance, right now I'm researching cemeteries and muttering, "Yes, but could I get buried there now? Or are these just old graves? God, why is this so hard to figure out?" Before I know it I'm on a message board where people post where their clients would like to find a burial plot. It looked like Monopoly meets Death.
Right now I'm looking at coffin models. However typing coffin + models=not so useful. Apparently an Italian coffin maker promoted his line of wares by offering a calendar of scantily clad women draped over his coffins. Sexism beyond the grave. Wow.
So now I'm looking at discounted coffins, trying to figure out if they look even odder without a corpse. So, um, yeah. These are some of the moments that make up being a writer.
Now I'm wondering who names the different coffin models. There's a story right there.
