Woman Held Captive by Family for 25 Years

I just read the above headline on AOL news, but I didn't read the story because I need to avoid all distractions and work on my novel. It made me think, though, of a grimmer reality: "Woman Held Captive by Family for 36 Years." That's my story. And I'm sticking to it. Wait, I'm not. This year I'm not going to involve myself so much.

New headline: "Penguin Books Signs Emerging Author for Three Mystery Novels." Followed by "Penguin Buys Gripping Suspense Novel Loosely Based on DATELINE Episode from Emerging Author."
