"The first duty in life is to assume a pose. What the second duty is no one yet has found out."
-Oscar Wilde
I was reminded of this quote by Oscar Wilde today when a friend asked me what the point was of writing paranormal romance. I am quite certain that there are many people who see it as a frivolous pursuit. Writing isn’t frivolous for me. It is as necessary as breathing. I think most people, myself included, create a mask that they show the world. From the clothes they wear to the way they speak, people present a mask of who they want to be. When I write that mask is stripped away and all that is left is me. For better or worse, my writing defines me.
