So far I've written three posts for today but they're not especially happy so let me leave you with this...
If you will
practice
being fictional for a while,
you will understand
that fictional characters
are sometimes more real
than people with
bodies and heartbeats.

SO true. Have a great weekend!
They do say truth is stranger than fiction.
So I guess fiction is realer than truth is a reflection of that.
Hope tomorrow is less sad.
Buck up lil camper! *is such a hypocrite*
You know my email if you need to vent, chickadee.
I love it. It's so true. I swear I know my characters than I know my own husband. Sad, huh?
Hope things brighten up for you soon. *hugs*
Funny I wrote about a man I cared about in a piece called "Fiction." I like this quote you have today.
I totally agree!
Have a great weekend :)
Great post. So very true. Thanks for sharing it with us and have a great weekend. :)
Intriguing quote! I'll be thinking about that today!
Such a true statement... love it!
Have a lovely weekend Anne!!!

A truly happy quote. And I hope you have a very HAPPY weekend!!
Fourth time was a charm!
so, so beautiful. LOVED it!
have a fabulous weekend, darling :D
Yes, sometimes I'd rather hang out with a book than with real people. I have to make sure I don't become a hermit!
IT's gonna be a hot one. Sweat out your worries, and then cleanse it all in the pool (some of us have to make do with a bathtub).
Have a fab-o weekend, and I"ll see you on the flip side.
Great quote! have a happy weekend :)
Fabulous quote and so very true. I hope you have a happy weekend! :o)
...words to live by:)
very true. It's crazy sometimes how things I'm writing about influence my 'real time' mood. If its a fun scene, I'm all smiles. If its sad, I have a heavy heart for a while and my hubby just doesn't get it...
it's so true, and one of the gifts of writing fiction. there is so much truth in the imagination we channel.
Great quote!
Love that quote - have a good weekend, Anne!
Apt quote! Hang in there, Anne. There's better times ahead for both of us. I can feel it. Have a great and relaxing weekend. :)
I love that quote! Have a great weekend.
BTW, new post up for the Novel Summer writing challenge - http://thisisnotnotmydayjob.blogspot.com/2010/06/novel-summer-2010-writing-challenge.html
Let us know how it's coming if you get the chance! And feel free to vent if you need to - I know I feel a vent coming on. :)
Get some rest and have a great weekend. Hope you start feeling happy soon! :0)
That's a fascinating quote. I do think he has a good point.
exactly...
hope your weekend's grand!
Nail on head moment! One of the things I've heard a couple times about characters in my book is "would people really do that? Drop everything just to help a friend?" In my fictional world they do! Maybe the real world could learn from that?
Fiction grows from our understanding of the human condition - I just wrote that over on my Blog - without the poetry!
And that was just freaky:
Word Verification: Happe - name of the researcher, studying precocious talents, who interviewed my boy at four.
This is so true...I keep them in my mind, the ones I created when there was no one else...along with the ones I met and befriended in those wondrous paper kingdoms...
Happy Weekend!
Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry you are having a difficult day, Anne.
But I adore what you went with for your post.
Enjoy floating in your pool with MB this weekend.
Know you are worthy and talented and kind.
Love,
Lola
Good quote. You have a fabulous weekend, too! :)
Oh, I'm sorry to hear you haven't had happy posts to share! I hope everything is going okay. I love what you've shared here, though. It's perfect. :)
Love this, Anne!
Hope you're having a great weekend so far.
I definitely have these sorts of days. Some days I just end up not posting at all. But I hope that soon you find yourself writing happy posts. You've posted a lovely poem, though. Very insightful.
