Never give it up. Follow your dream in to the depths of madness. And if you succeed, get right on the trail of the next dream. I find myself quoting Franz Kafka quite often but once again, he sums... Read More

Geneva Lorraine wrote Re: Does Fiction Matter?
Yes, fiction matters. This life we are living is nothing but a story. The world is made up of nothing but stories. Story is who we are, what we are. Stories are how we learn. We can't speak to each... Read More

About Geneva Lorraine Fiore

There really was nothing in the list of professions that fit me. I am indefinable. That makes me sad sometimes, but not for myself. First and foremost, I am a writer. I suppose everything else is defined by that. I am a student now and forever. That is, if I can find a way to stay. Scratch that, even if I have to leave school at some point, I will still be a student forever. As far as actually making a living? Well, I don't make much of one. Maybe one day I'll have a book on the best sellers list and be doing fine but in the meantime I work random and tedious jobs. I'm trying to start a little business of my own working hoodoo for people and I'm quite good. Trained in New Orleans. But any new business is slow going. I also volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation hospital. I'm very moody and I love to argue. Sometimes it's hard to tell if I really believe something or if I'm just playing Devil's Advocate. Sometimes I, myself, can't tell. I am a woman of extremes. Sometimes two opposite extremes at once. I would (and often do) call myself a cynical, alcoholic, chain-smoking, bipolar writer. But then again, I would also call myself a devotional, fun-loving, eccentric romantic. Go figure.
