Welcome to

   Pianonoise!

"...now that she was doing something difficult and familiar and never quite predictable, namely lying, she felt a sort of mastery again....She had to be careful not to say anything obviously impossible; she had to be vague in some places and invent plausible details in others; she had to be an artist, in short."
--Northern Lights (aka The Golden Compass) by Philip Pullman (p. 282)
