Besides, the material fro my 'gritty urban realism' novel has to come from somewhere. ;>
I won't judge your literary tastes, but I alsways thougth "gritty urban realism" fit better in the newspapers than in a novel (but, then again, I always despised realism as a literary stile by default). Speaking from proxy experience, people who go after "gritty urban realism" just for the kicks end up being in the headlines of said newspapers. However, I say these things just to be on the safe side, for I assume you merely jest.
Anyway, yeah, as said above, just be safe. And buy locks for your doors (The expensive kind). And maybe a dog. Or a crossbow. If you get a gun, you'll most probably just hurt yourself. But if you get a crossbow, and show it around a lot (specially if you take the aforementioned dog along), the crackheads will just think you're a dangerous nutjob and leave you alone... possibly |
