I am so ashamed
I started reading a book — the title looked ok, the first few pages were interesting enough, though it started to go downhill, it didn’t go downhill enough for me to stop reading it.
And then I read the author bio:
Marcie Walsh, played by Kathy Brier, has been a fan favourite since her first appearance on One Life to Live. She worked as a receptionist at the police station in One Life’s fictional town of Llanview. This is her first book.
It was cowritten by the head writer of OLtL, who does exist.

Oh, how embarrassing for you!

Wait, so it was written by a fictional character from a soap and the writer who essentially, gives her life?
I need more coffee and a nap.
But, wow, meta. In a bad way.

Zhenia, yes. It is meta in a bad way. But I guess it’s somewhat better than if there were a ghostwriter. And hey, at least the writer (human) knows how the writer (fictional) thinks.
Sheepish: worse yet, I am *finishing the book*.
