I’m supposed to be writing right now.  It’s my time out of the house to get some writing done, but it’s slow going.  Everything I try to write about today is coming out too personal.  It’s fiction, but based on truth, and I’m afraid if I write it someone is going to think that I don’t love my family or that I’m going to leave my husband or fill in the blank.

It’s a bit psycho, I know. But I wonder- when Agatha Christie was working on her first book, did anyone wonder if she had really killed someone at some point?  I mean, if you’re supposed to write what you know…

Actually, Stephen King talks about this in On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft I can’t remember what exactly he says, but it’s something along the lines of the fact that he didn’t have to kill people to write horror stories.

So…my conclusion is that I should get over it and write. Right?
