I've been accused of many things. Being perfectly sane isn't one of them.
But a semi-sane state works well for the world of writing, and it is in this fiendish fiction field I find I am most at home. (Apparently, I also alliterate a lot.) I am a semi-sane writer. Call me Beth. Better yet, call me Semi-Sane Beth. It has an honest ring to it. Here, there is no mask of sanity, no pretense of reason or normalcy; at the Semi-Sane Writer, there is only the story. The plot, the characters, how we get from first lines to the end and what we do to stay at least semi-sane along the way.
If you like to write, then pull up a chair. If you like to read, come on to the party. If you have any kind of creative inclinations, your thoughts are welcome. If you like to correct other people's grammar, please go away. I'm just kidding. You're welcome to stay, too. I'll warn you ahead of time that I might write "lay" instead of "lie", and I don't guarantee to never end a sentence with a preposition. As long as that sort of thing won't cause you to suffer some kind of grammatical embolism, then we'd love to have you hear. I'm a friend of grammar myself. But I won't promise to always treat it kindly.
So, you authors, writers, novelists, poets, screenwriters, artists, grammarians and other such psychopaths, please sit back, relax and enjoy. And remember. 100% sanity is highly overrated.
