SHANNON MUIR’S THURSDAY THOUGHTS on THE PULP AND MYSTERY SHELF are observations from the site administrator on her writing life, or the industry at large. Anything Shannon Muir thinks about goes – check the blog on Thursdays!

Right now, I honestly can’t think of much to say. Events in the world are on a grander scale of any story I would think of writing… and they are happening to real people, today, in this moment. Unlike a mystery tale, not all of them will reveal the full reasons at the end. Life’s like that.

Some people read to escape from the hard times. I admit, sometimes I write to escape that, and create other places to be with people and their own stories to tell.

The last few days, though, I haven’t had that in me. Hoping for more next time.

Until next week…
