"All you have to do is . . . " are, according to DJ Anderson, the
six most dangerous words. How often have the complexities of a
human life been distilled into this simple catch phrase in order to
explain it all? Using a blog she has called "The Six Most Dangerous
Words," Anderson's goal in posting is to focus on the absurdity of
trying to dilute each story into a "category" and then expose the
web of intricate emotional decisions that actually led to its
outcome. Some of her stories are non-fiction-character studies of
real people, using their real names . . . in many ways, tributes.
Some of her stories are thinly disguised as fiction. To those who
know her best, she says, "It won't be hard to make the connections
back to the non-fictionalized circumstances that gave rise to these
accounts." One of the things Anderson has learned about writing
from memory is that her memory is sometimes not very reliable. Not
wanting to be held accountable for details that she's filled in for
the sake of the storytelling, she categorizes these stories as
fiction. As a colleague's father used to say, "Don't let facts
interfere with the telling of a good story." Finally, some of
Anderson's stories are a complete fabrication coming entirely from
her imagination. She occasionally throws in a poem here and there
to change the pace. Volume I of "The Six Most Dangerous Words" is a
collection of the first two years of blog postings. Additional
