* You know how writers joke that our search history makes us look like killers and we keep planning perfect crimes? How there are so many "I swear I'm not a killer, I'm just a writer" mugs and journals?

Oregon romance novelist who wrote ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ goes on trial in fatal shooting of longtime spouse in Portland

Trying to explain away our search histories and interlibrary loan requests just got a bit more awkward.

* I now have less art supplies on my desk. I did de-stash some pencils and two whole pens. Also, I realized I had too many black Sakura PNs out and put a bunch of pens in my backstock... so why can't I fit these back into my cases and mugs?

Eep.

Yikes. I mean, there's "I'm not a murderer, I'm just a writer!" and then there's "write what you know!" and then there's "life imitates art"...

But thanks for ruining it for the rest of us!

(Not to make light of the fact that someone did get murdered here.)

Congrats on the decluttered desk! But... how does that happen, when you take all the stuff out, get rid of some, and then can't fit it back where it all was before?

Yeah, it's a dark joke but I've been seeing various riffs on 'I know I seem like a serial killer, but I've just a writer' jokes forever and... and I am a bad person.

I think at least one person (not from here, elsewhere) has disapproved of my humor.

[mistressofmuses]

It's a dark joke, but one I think is funny, lol.

Come on, Nancy, you're ruining the plausible deniability for the rest of us!

Wow, I honestly have no words right now. It's definitely not a story one expects to read, well, ever.

Is it bad to use my "write something" icon for this comment?

Also, yay for decluttering the desk!

[olivermoss]

It's something that should be a book premise, not real life!

Desk still needs work, but at least the pens are more organized and I will hopefully start using some up... or donating them :)

[megan_moonlight]

Oh, definitely true. I still have no words for all this.

Good luck with the rest of organizing, then! It's been a long while since organized my own drawing supplies. I just hid them in a drawer, and haven't opened that drawer in a while.
