Day 25:...and the Pulitzer Prize in fiction goes to:

When Sookie Stackhouse finally has enough of snarky customers thinking all kinds of things about her at Merlotte's and wherever else her waitressing career may take her, I have an idea for her next career.

She should write fact-based fiction. People do it all the time.

Look at all the "Law and Order" franchises. At the beginning of everyone of them, there's a disclaimer explaining that each episode is fiction and even if it sounds almost exactly like a murder/abduction/robbery etc. that has been smeared all over the news, it is not.

It's the same theory used in other fictitious media: Any resemblance to any person living or dead is purely coincidental.

Sookie could craft books about her adventures with vampires, shifters, weres, fairies, elves, demons, witches and others and if she bases her protagonist on herself, she will have a bestseller.

I'm sure some supernatural types have publishing interests and would be glad to print these books and stock them on bookshelves worldwide.

Sookie does have a way with a tale. She has been working on her vocabulary and is always trying to learn. Sounds like a writer to me.

The money would help her in so many ways. So far, the money she has earned using her telepathy and inherited, she has spent wisely, so it would be nice to see our favorite waitress not worrying about money all the time.

I would so enjoy seeing Sookie go on a manic shopping spree. I'd love to see her buy new furniture, new housewares, but most of all, seeing her indulge herself by buying an entire new wardrobe, including jewelry and especially shoes.

Can you imagine Eric and Bill when Sook came sashaying into her newly furnished living room in a flirty little silky dress, shoes that would make Pam jealous and jewelry she'd chosen herself? Her confidence would be blinding. She'd need no fairy power to stun everyone there with her own style.

At last.

It could work for her. She now owns a computer, so she needs a printer and several thumb drives that she can keep safe to protect her work, and she's in business.

You know, she could do no better than to use that great writer Charlaine Harris as a model.
