I have never had a stalker or done any stalking. But....
The novel I finished writing before Christmas (well, at least the complete first draft - it needs heavy rewrites before it'll be in a suitable state to be rejected by publishers) was actually a stalker story.

In outline it's about a woman who sees a man on the tube going to work each day. She falls in love with him. She steals his wallet on the train. She follows him to work, waits outside for him to finish so she can follow him home. Ultimately she works her way into his life and it all ends very badly.

In all honesty I can say that writing this nearly put me over the edge as I had to inhabit her 'world' for a while in order to write it. It was huge fun and terrifying in equal amounts. Various men have attempted to claim that the man was based upon them - it *was* based upon someone real and they are aware that I used them for the creation of the character, but I didn't stalk them. I do however have an extremely good imagination....

And are there any Chickenlady bits in the character?
I think we should be told what lurks in the CL psyche...

(Incidentally, if she flashes her knickers a lot it may be a clue)

Actually she doesn't flash her knickers even once - she has no sense of humour. Instead she smashes all her china and glasses at one point. And she has a lovely time with a peach.

No, you're not a stalker are you...
So why the fuck do I keep finding you sitting in the bushes outside my house?

Someone has to keep an eye on you!

*EDIT* But now with any luck the midget will take over ;-)

NaNoWriMo?
Was the novel part of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month?) My wife did that too and also has a first draft that she is furiously editing to be rejected by no doubt the same publishers as you.

Oh Smashmonkey...
You've given yourself away...

No it wasn't NaNoWriMo
I did give that a try last year though, but gave up within the first week...a year later the first draft was finished. I don't generally like writing with a deadline - unless it's something short.
