Deny. Lie. Make stuff up. That is one method of communicating. To whom does the value of doing so accrue? For how long?

Once you are known as a LIAR can you ever get your reputation back as a truthteller? Is it worth the risk?

    Writers use IMAGINATION my friend. They don't lie. They just create and invent and imaginate! So you are not now nor will you ever be a LIAR. Thank you for your reply! I did not buy! SIGH
