I found this some comic humor for myself, and others may benefit from the laugh they get from it, b/c laughter is ALWAYS the best medicine, no matter what our situations may be.

When asked what got her starting to write mysteries, her answer was "My second husband and I were going thru a bitter divorce, and I didn't have any fancy-pants attorney. I didn't know how to fight, so I would lie awake at night and think of ways to kill him. But I knew I'd get caught, so I decided to put it in a book and get paid for it! I always think it's odd that a whole career came out of that homicidal impulse"

For those of you not familiar w/ Sue Grafton, she writes the alphabet books ("A" is for alibi, etc.), and it quite good, and easy reading, if you have trouble concentrating at times, as I do. I found this funny b/c how many of us have laid awake at nite and dreamed of ways to kill our abuser, but we do not, b/c we know we'll get caught. Have hope, a career may come from it!! :)
