    Imagine a story/world in which a character points out
    to the main character that the word 'conservativism'
    bears visual resemblance to the word 'conserving'
    (after all, look at the first seven characters of
    each), followed by the main character somehow
    concluding that the point being made was
    about yet another word 'conservation' -
    a word that wasn't even mentioned in
    what the main character replied to -
    and then the main character goes on
    to openly wonder if it's the other
    character in the scene whose first
    language might not be English.

    Such is the world speculated - aka
    imagined - by new and upcoming
    author Lawrence DrCOOliveiro!

    That's clearly a pretty weak story
    line, because anyone with eyes and
    half a brain can see the visual
    connection between the word
    'conservativism' and the
    word 'conserving'.

    *But*... the plot thickens in that
    it turns out the main character
    and the author are THE SAME
    PERSON!

    Whoa! Holy creative twists,
    Rec.arts.sf.written Man!
