Recoverable

Every writer must be a bit of a cadaver dog. Once an emotional crash-up is over an author must plod back into the disaster area and sniff out the recoverables. You know, what experiences and feelings can be re-used in their fiction. It’s a dirty, unpleasant job and it stinks. Currently I’m holding my nose and sifting through mental unspeakables left from the car accident. So far, not a salvageable ping of emotion has been found for my Cozy Mystery. But I keep looking in spite of the stench. Until tomorrow… Chloe #recoverable #disaster #dog
