How do you know that I am telling the truth? Because quite frankly I hate it when people come up to me and notice that I am writing and ask what I write about.
How do you answer a question like that? I suppose I could say that I write about the horrors of the human condition, or that I try to tell a story with heart that will give the reader an uplifting message at the end, none of which would be true.
So I was honest:
I told them that I wrote stories about fucked up people doing fucked up shit.
That shut them up fast and suddenly they had to get back to their croissant.
So if you ever get the Jeopardy question: Who writes stories about fucked up people doing fucked up shit, you'll know the answer:
I do.
