So what are you gonna write about?
That's the question I almost always get when I tell people I'm here in a place like Romania and destinations beyond to gather research for a new novel. In this case, probably a Chase Baker thriller. I always answer them the same way.
"I haven't got a clue."
Then comes the scrunching of the forheard and the squinting of the eyes.
"How can you not know what you're gonna write about?"
That's when I really freak them out by saying, "I just write in the dark."
Now the brow scrunching and eye squinting is followed by a shake of the head and a confused grin.
"How do you see the words on the page in the dark?"
No one actualy asks this but I know it's what they're thinking. So before they can get another word out, I just tell them the truth. That I usually come up with a working title and a general plot concept and start writing. Amost always, the words flow through me like electricity through wires.
In other words, I'm not a writer so much as a conduit. Now how weird but cool is that?
