A poll which happens to be on Monday but is not the Monday Poll

[pjthompson]

Are writers always selling somebody out, telling the family secrets and passing it off as fiction, portraying someone they've known as a jerk to get revenge, or otherwise Spilling the Beans?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I have not (yet) put any personal bidness in, but I think quite a few of my friends would recognize various tics and habits of my characters.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know how that goes and same-same.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

p.s. Did you recognize the movie reference in the Ticky answer?

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I did not.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

It was a truly obscure one. I thought if anyone would get it, you might. Anne Bancroft says it to Bridget Fonda in Point of No Return, the La Femme Nikita remake and makes her practice saying it casually over and over.

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

Ah, gotcha. I have not yet seen that.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

It's not bad. Not quite La Femme Nikita, but not nearly as painful as it could have been.

I think people have made assumptions about me based on my characters, on more than one occasion. It often has to do with gender politics and sex, though. Those are areas where people tend to show more interest in other people's business, I think. Grrarr.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Not necessarily re those topics, but yeah.
