Are You Writing about people You Love or Hate?

I believe that people should write biographgies only about people they love.  Novels, on the other hand, are often better if they're about people the writer doesn't like very much.

Penelope Fitzgerald http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penelope_Fitzgerald
It says here she was the daughter of the Bishop of Lincoln
