One of the best things about being a writer is you can give your characters all those ghastly names you love, yet couldn’t name your own children on account of that you don’t live in Hollywood or a trailer park.

I always like the fake name the Great Gilly Hopkins used in the book of the same name: Hepezibah Flurge.

that rejection pile is looking a little lean — wanna send me a story or two so I can top it up?

I'll bet you've written me a rejection already. You've left the story name blank so you can fill it in when I send it...

As long as you don’t give them rats tails or mullets. *Shudders* You’ve never known a trailer park till you’ve lived in western Sydney!

why, I was in a trailer park only a couple of days ago. My friend was checking out places to live. And no, I'm not kidding!!!

When I lived in Japan I was friends with a girl called “Mi” (me). When we were introduced she pointed to herself and said “”Me”. I said, “Yes, hello. Whats your name?” She pointed at herself again and said, “Me”. It was a bit like the old skit “Whos on first?”
