After ~2000 words I started to wonder why my characters express themselves in this particular, and some would say peculiar, fashion

These are their stories.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To write angst there's a trick

Or readers laugh 'till they're sick

Joan will freely admit

She can't do it a bit

As she managed to learn real quick

If her job left her time

Eames would publish true crime

Putting Ann Rule to shame

She'd be on top of her game

And wouldn't have to care if it rhymed.

Would her friends look askance

If Irene wrote romance?

Though Bobby inspires

The genre still requires

Talent at which she haven't a chance.

Penning dramatic prose

Is what I'd have chose

But when it comes to the crux

My prose really sucks

Que sera - but that's just how it goes!
