Questions not for the feint of heart
Jaeh:
well, yeah. I get that. but I'm more concerned with the setting than the inspiration - I don't phrase statements and questions right. Erm, yeah, the setting. I should look into the setting by reading gruesome stuff on the tabloids, I guess. I need to know what's happening in the wee gross criminal underworld of this country.
as for what I'd love to write, I was thinking of the whole serial killer type thing, so I'll probably look into books. and tv shows. movies are good too, but i'll see, thanks for the tip on horror, btw. I may do a little horror short story on the side.
shades of grey:

Is it horrible that I feel a little frustrated right now that I can't dismember any human beings in what I'm writing because the setting isn't right? we, in this country, unfortunately, don't have any serial killers. as far as my googling knowledge and my news knowledge goes.
that said, do you guys think I should invest in reading tabloids with gruesome deaths just to see if I could spot any pattern/inspiration, and take it from there?

Not exactly something the tourism board would want to hype.
