A Survey

Just a little brainstorming type question, for all two or three of you who actually read my blog.

You have a female vampire.

She's from this century. This millenium. In fact, she's only been a vampire for a year or so.

What do you think she could be addicted to?

Ah, writing. It's a strange thing. You suddenly have a character in your head, dictating a story to you, demanding you tell it. The character tells you: I have an addiction.

But she won't tell you what it is.

I hate that. Who do these characters think they are, anyway? They take over your brain but they don't cooperate. It's the worst sort of possession.

Almost as bad as noisy teenagers in the computer room at your local library...

Maybe she's got an addiction to teenage boys!

Um...no....I don't think so....

Ah well. Summer vacation is almost over and the kids--mine and the ones here at the library--will be going back to school soon. And thus, I hope, my writer's block will end.

But will I find out what my character is addicted to?

What do you think it might be?
