I mean, I could study it without being one, but that makes me more aware of what people do and why.

I can see, too, Kaye where there would be great satisfaction in making sure the bad guy got what was coming to them in the end.

That's what makes a crime writer happy. Neat endings don't often (ever?) happen in real life. I do always try to figure out why my killer thinks that act is the thing to do. I wonder if other mystery writers read as much true crime as I do. That's what I use for source material. I like Criminal Minds, too!Kaye Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596677617002735674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637035864156536177.post-4976535005964410042012-01-16T12:09:52.439-06:002012-01-16T12:09:52.439-06:00I've wondered about these things too, especial...I've wondered about these things too, especially because most of the TV shows I watch are crime dramas. One of my favorites is Criminal Minds, because the profilers try to answer these same questions by analyzing the serial killers and figuring out what they're going to do next. On the other hand, I haven't written a lot about death in my own fiction; it's often more difficult to write about dark stuff like that than stuff that makes people happy.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.com
