Should've Been a Writer and Contest Winner!

Before I begin today's post, I must announce the winner! Congratulations WOLFSPAIN! You won not only the extra entry for being most creative, but my own copy of the ARC of CRUSADE. Just email me your address at parnormalpov at gmail dot com and I will send it to you! If I don't hear from you by this time next week, however, I will have to move on to another lucky winner since you left me no other way to contact you.

Now, on to the post!!

Dr. Frankenstein should've been a writer. I mean talk about perseverance, right? Everyone told him he was crazy, shot down his creative ideas, even sent an angry, torch-bearing mob after him. Okay, well, I've never had a mob come after me, but still...

Mr. Hyde should've been a writer. It would have been a much better outlet for him. Gotten him into far less trouble. And who doesn't love a good horror story. Yes. He would've been better off the writer instead of the MC.

Captain Ahab should've been a writer. He really knew how to get a handle on character. He was seriously in that whale's head. And I mean, really? A whale that has malicious intent? The man would've been a genius with voice.

Dracula should've been a writer. He could have set the record straight and prevented all these different versions of what a vampire truly is. Plus, seeing from the vampire's perspective? Priceless.

  3. I would have added to this list, but my brain isn't awake yet. I totally agree with Dracula. Plus, look at all the years he'd have to perfect each manuscript.

  5. These are great examples! Yeah I have to agree with commenters - imagine what great books a vampire could write with all the time in the world. Agree with you about protesting the banning of books, too.

    This might not fit with the theme, but I wish Mr. Darcy had been a writer. I'd love to be inside HIS head!
