A quotation from Horace

The man who mingles the useful with the sweet carries the day by charming his reader and at the same time instructing him. That’s the book to enrich the publisher, to be posted over seas, and to prolong its author’s fame.

[Omne tulit punctum, qui miscuit utile dulci,
lectorem delectando pariterque monendo.
Hic meret aera liber Sosiis, hic et mare transit
et longum noto scriptori prorogat aevum.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 343ff (2.3.343-346) (19 BC) [tr. Blakeney; ed. Kramer, Jr. (1936)]

Sophia Jane Hayden, Author Apr 5

When writing fiction, do you find that the most fun is sometimes in creating the supporting characters in your cast of characters? I do! In my romance drama, The Fifth Seduction. Jimmy Valley is the foil, or the comic relief character, who is excruciatingly annoying to the two female leads, Julia and Mable. He is the TV host on the successful series they created and is popular with the public, so they can never be rid of him, but behind the scenes, he makes their skin crawl. Later in the book, we learn that Jimmy got his start in "show business" because his father hosted a kids' show in England. As Mable narrates: "That explained even more about Jimmy: A puppeteer in a dog costume raised him." In this graphic, Jimmy dines with a mortified Mable and her boyfriend, famous rock star Daniel, while on location for the reality series in Australia. #australia #realityTV #book #books #writing #bookstodon #sunday #novel #novel #writing #writersCoffeeClub #writers #writer #writersofMastodon #OriginalCharacter #character #comic #humor #rock #rockstar #television #drama #funny #scribesAndMakers #author #authorLife #authors #fame #romance #TV
