Hehe. Also, it’s a way of maintaining a harmonious relationship with your dentist. And that means calling him/ her whenever you had tooth problems.

Not sure what that says about me. :) The first book I wrote (which is hiding in a closet somewhere) was based on the life of this kid I knew in HS. I thought he had a pretty interesting one. He might have had an interesting one, but the book was snooze inducing! :)Karilyn Bentleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359102189839118744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-83955745334159298872011-08-23T19:55:42.074-05:002011-08-23T19:55:42.074-05:00Okay, I know I'm weird, but usually it's i...Okay, I know I'm weird, but usually it's in the shower. That's where all great plotting is done! And yes, I use to work with a guy who laughed and told me I could use him in my next novel. I really should do that, but he wouldn't be the hero, he would be the jerk she dumps on the first page. Love the blog Liz and I'm getting excited to read your "Cozy" mystery. Sorry, I'm a girl who likes my fiction to be light-hearted as I can't take the burned homeless people. I'd feel sorry for them and want to contact their families and offer comfort.

You are such fun.<br /><br />At 28 YOA, I had major, major dental work done. The only teeth that are real in my head are anchor teeth to four bridges in the back and the front teeth. My brother and I inherited bad teeth genes from our father. My brother had full dentures at 36. The sound of the dentist drill to me reminds me of the drill/saw the pathologists use to saw open the skull during autopsy. Even the smell is the same. <br /><br />I get story ideas from music, conversations I hear in my head and repeat aloud to hear how it will "sound" in a MS. Most of my ideas come from seeing something that interests me and I ask "what if.”<br /><br />PhyllisPhyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842013659811431774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-59459077758747051742011-08-23T17:08:14.750-05:002011-08-23T17:08:14.750-05:00Jeanmarie, I can only imagine how loud the sanding...Jeanmarie, I can only imagine how loud the sanding was if you "escaped" to your route canal.

Sometimes she doesn't shoot me with novacaine and she's the first dentist I've ever had who hasn't started out with it first thing. But I can tell you what's louder than the dental drill, and that's having your kitchen cabinets sanded down in your kitchen after a water leak that caused water damage. I had to put up with that for two days, and then I escaped the third day to a root canal at my dentist's, and it was much quieter. ;-)<br />This home repair has not inspired any stories, but a water damage repair to the kitchen 6 years back inspired one, when water started streaming from the ceiling, and I'm keeping that handy. <br />Enjoyed your post, Liz!Jeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-68320905846115628792011-08-23T12:12:08.074-05:002011-08-23T12:12:08.074-05:00Hey, Sheila, thanks for stopping by and for the ni...Hey, Sheila, thanks for stopping by and for the nice words about the "almost" book.

As for the dentist--you echoed my exact feelings. I, too, never saw a dentist until my teenage years when nearly every tooth in my mouth needed a filling--all without Novocaine.
