Fiction
Who the hell are these people who ‘don’t read fiction’. Like fiction has no value; like there aren’t lessons to be learned just because the events didn’t happen.
People sometimes, man. Open your fucking eyes. Open your hearts. You can learn a lot about yourself in fiction. Fiction teaches us without telling us that which we can and can never be. I love it.
Just thought I’d let you know.

I’m with you. I love the old Lit Professor quote:
“For it to be good fiction, it need not necessarily have happened, but it must be true.”

I completely agree – I write strictly fiction and you know, I find truths about my own life and the people around me coming out in my “fiction.” !!

Fiction? Ice cream? the sixties? Man, can I not do without. Well put.

I put fiction in the search and came up with your blog. I was thinking about this today and trying to put into context what life would be like without music, art, story telling and it was a very, very grey world. Telling stories is as old as time and it was lovely to see someone spouting off passionately about it. Cheers!
