A random writing thought

[valarltd]

 There is talk in the Sons of Anarchy community about redemption arcs and suchlike.

I realized: I don't write redemption stories. I write stories of horrible people doing terrible things to other people, and enjoying it.

I am all about the unfettered id.
Jax Teller kills people.
Sherlock is rude and dismissive of lesser monkeys.
My characters do both as well as other nastiness.

All of them do these things without remorse. They do them without a second thought. And they don't need redeeming.

I'm along for the sheer gratification. I'm not here to make a great statement.

Wow. You really -have- had a bad week. You never get this nihilistic/fatalistic unless you're exhausted.
