Thrills, Sex, Adventure

If you can create those on page, can you not create them in your life? Do you have to in order to write about them? Of course not. The saying "those who can, do and those who can't, teach" can also be; "those who only wish they could, write about it". I kinda think that John Grisham probably never had some large corporation out to kill him to hide some ugly truth, but I'm sure he thought it would be exciting if they had. Stephen King never owned a killer Plymouth Fury, but I'll bet he wished he would have, even for a day. You just know Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fancied himself a great detective and H.G. Wells really did want to go to the moon It is not only in the fertile imagination of the writer that all things become possible; it is also in their deep desire to live an alternate existence that makes them create on paper. The author, I'm guessing, really wants to interact in the world they create. But then, can you actually take pieces of what you've written and try to live them out yourself? Let's face it. My characters are having way more than I am, and I resent it. And I don't have to build a rocket and try to fly it to the moon. I only have to get out there and create a real life adventure for myself. My one dimensional characters are an inspiration to me. I don't really want murder and mayhem to ensue, (or do I?), just a little more of getting out there and living. Let's face it; life may be short, but it's wide.
