Some writers seem to grow from a tortured childhood, but I'm not sure I would have survived one.Sandy Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824301408180614516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-44086514600588485382014-08-20T18:32:24.621-07:002014-08-20T18:32:24.621-07:00Hi Sandy--

Being surrounded by all that fodder you were definitely bound to become a writer :-) Great writing tips by the way!<br />Victoria--Victoria M.

And, if I write a book based on the same character, I'm willing to bet we'll have completely different stories. Different perceptions. Part of the fun of writing.

The small Ohio town where I grew up probably influences my writing the most, but I'm told it wasn't as nice and innocent as I perceived (or remembered.)Jayne Ormerodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313253114988955507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-68800840840975362622014-08-15T13:43:42.812-07:002014-08-15T13:43:42.812-07:00Actually, Sofie, family can be a pretty good inspi...Actually, Sofie, family can be a pretty good inspiration for a murder mystery too.Sandy Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824301408180614516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-76091419696879181732014-08-15T11:57:42.340-07:002014-08-15T11:57:42.340-07:00I'm with you on this one.
