He Said It
I was reading an article on Jeff Lindsay, the author of Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter about a serial killer who kills bad guys. The Showtime series Dexter is based on Lindsay’s character.
Lindsay said this of writing:
I don’t know if it’s possible to be a writer and be normal. It’s not a normal occupation. I know I’m deeply neurotic, and I’m comfortable with that.
Uh-huh. What he said.

Define normal—-I don’t think many people qualify.

I have tried so hard to exist in a normal life that I am very far from it.

My only response is, “Yup.”

I think it’s difficult to find anyone normal - that’s what makes people so damn interesting.

What does it mean if I don’t really think of myself as neurotic? Am I in denial?

Yes, Jill. You are in denial. No question.
