#WritersCoffeeClub April 12 "How does being a writer influence your life outside of the work?"
I won't say it makes me more curious, it was my curiosity that drove me to write. But writing lets me engage in my curiosity more fully.
"Hm, that's interesting, I wonder what happened there?"
*digs*
"Oh, I've got so many ideas from this!"

For example, there’s Shelbyville man, Ed Cheney. He had an unremarkable life as an electrical engineer, married, two kids. Until he commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to build his house. Frank not only ran off with his wife, but built Taliesin for her. And then one of the help at Taliesin axe murdered Ed’s (ex) wife and kids, and set the place on fire. Ed remarried and adopted three children. To me, Ed’s is a more interesting story than FLW’s well known shitbagery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Cheney
