Crazy day, but I did get a blog entry done for Liquid Silver Books, which is due March 15th. I also asked the first couple of what I'm sure is a bunch of questions of a woman who lived through a horrible time in the eighties, and who is still recovering.
I won't say much more than that, as I'm supersitious about the books I write. But if she likes, if this book ever sees the publishing light of day, she will be thanked in the acknowledgements. If she doesn't want her name out there, that's cool too.
I've been writing around the really hard stuff in this book, and so although this woman welcomes my questions, I was avoiding doing this part of the research. I was actually entertaining the idea of not doing the heavy research. Just taking what I already know and hoping that would be enough.
But if I do that, I'll not only be cheating myself but anyone who ever reads this book. If I'm going to do it, I have to do it right. Otherwise I'm not giving this woman or the countless other victims of this crime justice. I'd be doing them a disservice, because the truth of what happened and still continues to happen is too hard for me to know about. The details, which makes the crimes so real, is so too heartwrenching to deal with.
So it's time to get down and dirty. Time to dig in and get 'er done.
My eyes are heavy and I feel like I'm rambling. So I'm heading off to bed with a book. If I get a good sleep I can get up early for the work out.
Over and out.
