Not only do I think that being "one of those" makes me right but that I can act like some out-of-control deity and rearrange facts to make them read better. But then again, I am a writer and we writers do that. We imagine, we create, rearrange and then we write it all down.' (Source: Abstract, Hodgson, 2002)
