First a little background. The Fiction Class by Susan Breen is about Arabella Hicks, a single, 38-year-old writer who has been working on the same book for seven years. Every week Arabella teaches a beginning fiction class. Afterwards, she travels out to visit her difficult mother at her nursing home. The book is about her struggles as a writer, her relationship with her mother, her budding romance, and her students.

There's more of course, but I don't want to give it away. Instead I'll share five reasons why I loved The Fiction Class.

1. Susan Breen is inspiring. Like ...

Doing quests 3 or more levels higher than you, or an elite quest solo may only take excess time, unless you are in a group, don’t attempt them. If you spend 5 hours trying to do a level 15 quest and you are at level 13, you may get it done. But in those same 5 hours, you could have made level 15 simply by killing stuff 2-3 levels beneath you.

There are all kinds of reverse positioning clues in regards to favor in this morbidly disfavored age:::Late bloomers have god's favor and are therefore given more time to fix their probelms and get out before puberty. People with infertility problems would be wise to look at themselves in this same light. I'd remind you Italians both bloom early AND had a reputation for breeding like rabbits (blacks bred like rabbits too, but it was to CHEAT the welfare system, yet another thing the gods are punishing them for).
Similarly, women without marriage prospects are receiving extra time as well. If ...

We all have our guilty pleasures in life. Some of mine are watching "America's Next Top Model," reading too much science fiction, and listening to Duran Duran. I also - true confessions time here folks - like Abba. I don't know what is it about songs like "Waterloo" and "Dancing Queen" but when I hear them on the car radio, I turn them up.

Well if you're a woman over 40 who likes Abba, and you have a video camera, you may be interested in this contest.

While moms don't want to hear about an outbreak of lice at school, I know of some kids who are absolutely terrified of getting lice. My sister Michele was one of those kids. She was obsessed about lice. Fearful of lice. And worried constantly about getting lice.

I, being the older sister, teased her unmercifully about it. One year I even made little "lice" out of white modeling clay, and put it in a fancy gold box as a birthday ...
