If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
by Shel Silverstein
Being a writer of fiction isn't like being a compulsive liar, honestly. It takes craft and care, and it's much easier not to do it.
-Neil Gaiman
