If you had one day when you could do anything that you wanted with no repercussions the next day and no one remembering except you what would you do on that day?i_heart_concussions
It seems to me that my first instinct here labels me a hypocrite, for as honest as I like to think myself, I’d probably go on a crime spree and rob a bunch of banks. Statistically speaking, you don’t get a lot of money robbing banks, only a couple hundred to a couple thousand, but hey… if I had a whole day and no one would remember I did it, why not? I’d hit as many banks in that day as I could… let’s be generous and figure $1000 each bank and maybe a dozen banks in all or so. $12000 isn’t bad! lol
Of course, that’s in the event I didn’t chicken out. Bank robbing, or any crime, really is not my thing. Aside from shoplifting a few candy bars when I was a preteen, the whole “breaking the law” thing never really appealed to me. I don’t understand people that “get addicted” to the “thrill” of shoplifting. Supposedly there’s an adrenaline rush…? My sister on the other hand actually had the audacity to steal from the department store where my grandmother was working when we were kids. She didn’t get caught by the store. She got caught by me. She had bags of stuff hidden in junked cars behind the house. I totally turned her butt in. lol My grandmother made her take the bags back and apologize.
No… robbing banks and committing crimes belong to the bad guys I write about in my stories. All my evil tendencies get their expression in my fiction. Most likely, I’d push the limits… see what I could get away with that day in an entirely different way. I’d quit my job, knowing my boss wouldn’t remember I’d done it the following day. I’d tell her, and certain customers, what I really thought. Then I’d head to New York with a list of publishers and see what worked at getting my foot in the door to getting me published. Then, since no one would remember what I did the following day, I’d go back to New York the next day and do only those things that actually worked. lol It’s easy to learn from trial and error, when there are no repercussions.

lol I had the same exact first thought! I thought I would rob someplace so I could have the money I need to redo my kitchen and floors lol.
Considering I’m keeping my money in a bank, and I’m not entirely convinced of the FDIC’s reliability, I’m glad to hear you wouldn’t rob it
I had the same first instinct, but then I realized I’d probably feel so bad about it afterward it wouldn’t be worth it. Especially since my mom works in a bank. :/
I like the idea of trying to get in touch with publishers to see what works and what doesn’t! Or you could also try agents.
That would be cool to be able to check out what works and what doesn’t work with the publishers. I like the way your mind works.
