Reasons not to date a writer...

Fitzgerald drew largely upon his wife's intense and flamboyant personality in his writings, at times quoting direct segments of her personal diaries in his work. Zelda made mention of this in a 1922 mock review in the New York Tribune, saying that "[i]t seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and also scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald—I believe that is how he spells his name—seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home" (Zelda Fitzgerald: The Collected Writings, 388).

I'm sure there are people out there who would enjoy the idea of reading about their thoughts and dating interactions in their fellow writer's masterpiece.

I don't apply the "creative common" philosophy for this area of my life. I wonder if it's a generational thing or just that I'm being selfish.

Let's say that for now I believe that a writer who has enough distance to write about the ones who love him/her, well has too much distance to actually love someone, and that someone is delegated to a muse role.
I'm sure there are exceptional beings who manage to transcend the state of being a writer (these are human beings who write vs. writers who are).

To one of these exceptions, I say:
I am to be your muse, amuse you and abuse you...
