I only now realized that I saved this as a draft and never posted it. I am writing about nail-biting, though not precisely in the terms sketched out below. It’s still getting its shape.
Not quite sure what I’m going to write about yet, but here’s a quick sketch of the ideas that are coming to mind:
1. BITING NAILS- I’ve always been a nail-biter, although I can’t seem to link the habit to a particular feeling or cause. My mom hates that I bite my nails, and I kind of do, but don’t really realize when I’m doing it anymore. No matter what course of action I’ve taken, including putting that rotten polish on my nails, I keep biting them. Maybe there’s something in here to explore.
2. SERIAL KILLERS- More precisely, those that have fascination with the body after its dead. I know this is really morbid, but I’m super interested in murderers who disturb or mutilate the body post-mortem. This includes, but is not limited to, 1991′s yogurt shop murders and the recently convicted Jigsaw Murderer, Stephen Marshall.
3. DECOMPOSITION OF THE BODY- I don’t know where I would go with this, I only know that I’m very interested in finding out how bodies rot.
