"Write What You Know."
« on: October 12, 2007, 07:56:14 PM »
Writing about things from personal experience is a great way to add a feeling of realism to your stories. Unless, as in this case, you are a horror novelist writing a book about murder and cannibalism: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301254,00.html

That... is taking research way too far.

EDITED TO ADD: If this didn't come from a fairly reliable news source, I'd think it was the plot for an episode of "Criminal Minds".

Or CSI, if they reach to that city.  In other words, that is just scary.
