On Saturday I met a Japanese serial killer.

I was sitting on the Golden Jubilee Bridge when it happened, writing my novel for NaNoWriMo. (27362 words so far). It was during a NaNo London meetup, and a line of writers were all sitting on the bridge, participating in an event called NaNoRilla. (Wandering around London and stopping in different places to write – the Cafe in the Crypt, National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, National Theatre, on some steps leading down into a tunnel, etc.).

Many people walk past us and ask what we are doing, and most of the time they just wish us good luck. (Although there was one person that walked past and said, "strange people").

A man and a woman are walking past, and he stops and asks me what I am doing. I explain about NaNoWriMo and he says I should include them as characters. She is a Japanese serial killer who likes Sweeney Todd, and he is her next victim. They will come back here after dark.
