Technical Difficulties

Maybe the female narrator was lying to you because you're too pretty or she likes your husband and doesn't think you deserve him.

Over-anthropomorphize much?

Maybe "lying" is the word truepenny used to describe something that is otherwise difficult to put into words about the creative process.

Maybe this whole notion of conversations with characters is really just a metaphore.

Oh, and just for the record....this narrator....wouldn't like me.
