A Tale of Two Frannys
I write a lot of fiction, and publish it online. Not stuff that any of you will ever see (sorry!) because that's a different world from this one. My two (or more) personalities, and their rabid followers, shall never meet. I have a reputation to maintain here. Think of it as having a spouse and a lover. You don't want them hanging out and swapping tales, you know what I mean? Eg:
Blog reader: You know Franny?
Fiction reader: Sure I know Franny! YOU know Franny?
Blog reader: Yeah, we blog...she's very open and funny!
Fiction reader: No, no, she writes fiction. She's dark and dramatic!
Blog reader: OPEN AND FUNNY!
Fiction reader: DARK AND DRAMATIC!
Blog reader: Fine! I'll read yours and you read mine.
Fiction reader: Fine!
Both (after reading alternate universe): WHAT CRAP!
Fiction reader: (*sobbing*) Can't believe we've been had...
Blog reader: (*angry*) I know, let's both ditch Franny and shack up together! That'll show her!
See what I mean? I lose in the end. So my apologies to my blog friends, but know that you are blessed for not having to read my angsty, melodramatic, NC-17 fiction. You only have to listen to my PG-13 non-fiction tripe. However, I'll say this. There is one person who has visited both worlds and come out alive and sane on the other end. He has sparkling eyes and a smile that lights up a room.
And he thinks both Frannys are keepers.

Then he's definitely a keeper.
There's another Velvet, too, and I think that she and Fiction Franny have a great deal in common except for the fact that Un-cut Velvet has no voice. Hubby has little idea about the deep recesses of my mind where she lives because I don't think he wants to hear about it.

Are you trying to tell us you're another Sybil?
There are some of us who would appreciate both sides of the coin. And, I personally think you are one talented woman who comes up with the most fantastic "stuff." Not your average person at all.
hey! you're holding out on me?! we'll have words missy!
:P
Which are we - your spouse or your lover?
