“Write what you know.” What nonsense

“Write what you know will always be excellent advice for those who ought not to write at all. Write what you think, what you imagine, what you suspect!”

~~ Gore Vidal

I positively love that quote. It says a lot. It’s not terribly polite, no, but it’s truth in many regards.

“Write what you know” you see it everywhere you see writers or would be writers discussing things. Such a strange phrase, I think. If we write only what we know, the where do we get some of the grander adventures of gods and h...

Now what?

Well, the Now & Forever ABCs are done. Now what do I do?

First off, probably not have anything daily to say anymore. I’ll probably cut back to something a couple times a week. I can’t promise I’ll have anything regularly, but I will try to. I’m, in fact, considering a rule of one post a week, and if I wind up with two or three then queuing them up to guarantee a post for the next week. Reblogs, of course, don’t count.

Also on my list of ways to give myself Hell, I’ve finished the first edit run...

Now & Forever ABCs (Zoë)

Zoë Aini Constellino née Ayishah
15 September 1972
Jehovah‘s Lawyer

Zoë grew up with wealth, as her parents had a fair income between writing and inheritance by the time she was born. Still, she never liked high society, nor flaunting wealth — instead her love mirrored that of her parents: travel, and experiencing the world from the level of the natives. She loved living in little Chilean villages and eating local home cooked foods to the versions found in the fancy restaurants of the big cities...

Zach is a writer and reader. Primarily he writes science fiction adventures, but he also enjoys westerns, mysteries, and paranormal thrillers — and writes in all of these. He hopes to make a living at this, and so is looking to earn a Journalism degree so he can get a day job writing for a magazine or newspaper while he works on his novels and short stories.

He’s lived his whole life behind and to one side of Lauren’s backyard, so the two famil...

Versatile Blogger Award (Photo credit: It’s Great To Be Home)

Well, it would appear I’ve been nominated, by Jill of Barefoot Editing, for something called The Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you, Jill!

I, honestly, have never heard of it before, though I’ve been looking into it now that it’s been brought to my attention.

Seems it works thusly:

If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.

This is truly inspired

True love and courage is to stand up for those without voice and who are unable to stand for themselves.

True caring and kindness is loving and caring where you have no cause to care but for the love of your fellow beings.

Now & Forever ABCs (Travis)

My God, I can’t believe I forgot Travis. Maybe I forgot Travis started with a T?

Travis Kaleo Puanani
20 May 1995
Agnostic

Travis’ parents met when his mother was stationed in Hawaii, where Travis was born. The family moved back to her home in Washington when she left the Air Force. Travis is the oldest of three children.

Travis tends to have a rather pervy sense of humour, make sexual innuendo out of anything and everything he can. He’s actually a fairly shy, sweet guy when given a chance to prov...

Now & Forever ABCs (Sarah)

I’m terribly sorry I didn’t get this posted yesterday, when I should have, but I was rather busy with work and pets while fending off a terrible migraine. I’m better now and the workload isn’t as obscene so all should be well to wrap up the Ss, look for any more Ts, and so forth.

Sarah Esmerelda Theresa Boone
20 August 1996
Roman Catholic

Sarah is one of Lauren’s oldest friends; the two met while playing at the park together when they were three.

Sarah’s parents are corporate lawyers, something sh...
