I am ficticious. They say fiction has three main elements: a plot, a character, and place or setting. That said…. Am I any less real or more ficticious than you? I came from somewhere, someone’s mind, an imagination. How did I get in there? More importantly, I am thankful I get out of there occasionally, real or imagined, fictitious or not. This blog is my space, and I can do anything I want, as long as my benefactor can think of it. We all have our limitations.PS – All the characters in the stories that reside within are real, although the stories are those of Darwin Goerferts, who is a real fictional friend of mine. It gets confusing, this business of what is real. Just ask Plato, or Huxley, or Alice.

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.–
