Writers are Keepers of Secrets

Steven King once said, "Everything goes in, eventually." I take what his meaning to be that our fiction is the outcome of a process that draws on everything we are, were, and will be. Nothing gets left out.

We all know unflattering things about others. Sometimes we have been entrusted with them. Sometimes we found them out otherwise. We have to be careful what we write to avoid violating our friends.

We all are keepers of each other's secrets. As writers we have a greater potential do do harm by revealing something about another person they don't want revealed. So, we have to be careful what we write. We may be violating a loved one's privacy.

I want to help move people's careers along. Is what I am saying helpful?

Read my mystery, The Case of the Kearney Music School Murders (2007), for free at wwww.kearneymusicschoolmurders.blogspot.com or buy it from Amazon.com more cheaply than you can print it out.
