What the Hell This Blog is About

OK.

Apparently there is some confusion about WHAT THE HELL this blog is about.

JUST SO YOU KNOW: This blog is what is known as BLOG FICTION. BLOG FICTION, friends, is a blog written by a fictional person or individual. BLOG FICTION means that the author is actually a fictional character.

Now, you might be thinking, Ms. Edna! If that IS your real name, Ms. Edna, doesn't a whole lot of what you write come from the author's author's life? The creator of Ms. Edna who in turn created Lesser Known Works?

Well, friends, yes, authors' lives often do make it into their writing. How would Twain have known to write about the South? How would Dickinson have know to write about death? How would Romance novelists know to write about Romance? But PLEEEEAAAASE, people. Does that mean that Nabokov actually molested children? Does that mean that Harlequin novelists have fallen in love thousands of times and been happily married to bare chested Native Americans? NO! Does it mean that Poe ever actually killed anyone because of their milky colored eye? Certainly not. It just means we have good imaginations, and we have the freedom to embellish.

So PLEASE. Seriously. Do not think that this is real. If you happen to know the author's author, please just acknowledge that some things were meant to be escapes, not rants. Not memories of actual events. Not truth. Fiction. Isn't that what BLOG FICTION is all about?

Honestly, I'm impressed if you're getting freaked out. It means I'm doing my job. To you, reading it, it's real.

Score one for the author's author.

Oh yea.
