Sometimes, when I have an idea or decide I need to change something in a manuscript, instead of putting a note into One Note (that I will have to remember to read later), I send myself a scheduled text. I really hope the NSA is not reading my texts…

It’s bad enough that my search history reads like a serial killer’s with questions like:

• What is the best base to dissolve a human body?
• How long does it take for a human body to decompose?
• What organs are considered delicacies?
• How do animal bite marks differ from human bite marks in flesh?

What’s worse, looking through my text history to myself, I have things like:

• Craig needs to die
• 295k,95,317,505 (I have no idea)
• Shoot [that guy] in the face already
• Check to see if the body’s gone
• Don’t let Aten talk to the cops!
• Don’t let the cops find out about Aten’s murder!
• Need a better place to stash the bodies, jerkface

So, please Mrs. NSA-agent, don’t send the ERT to kick in my door, I’m a writer not a serial killer! I have a T-shirt to prove it!
