 Hanna talks about:

Things that will 100% happen to you if you’re a crime writer -

1) Your research will FREAK YOU OUT, you become an expert on corpses, you take pleasure in reminding your other half that you know where to hide a body etc…

2) You might write something and think to yourself “Wow, this is weird stuff, it’s really sick”. Don’t worry. All it shows is that you’re on the right track (It’s when you don’t think it’s sick anymore, when you should start to worry).

3) You might look at your social life, and realize that the people you have come to hang out with since you started writing crime fiction are now mostly coroners and profilers and other denizens of the darker side of human nature.

4) You might catch yourself telling your partner in an argument that "I know how to kill you without getting caught!” and actually mean it.

5) You might become a total weirdo compared to other people with a ‘regular’ job, but that’s just part of the deal. For example, I’m much better when I’m writing at night. I used to switch my day and night cycle, getting up just in time to make it to the shops before they closed. This did turn me into a bit of a social pariah, however, and took a definite toll on my relationships, so I worked on changing that. But I still do think I’m a better writer at night. The darkness just seems more… fitting.
