Years ago I wrote a story about a friend I worked with who wanted to be a kids book writer. In my usual style, I made her into a fictional character, who meets with famous children's author Simon Nibble, and tries to get him to help her with her career. She ends up falling in love with his personal "handler."
Obviously the name Simon Nibble was a play on Robert Munsch. My Nibble character was nice and fun in front of the public, but a lech behind scenes. (Though I like to think he was a fun lech.)
Well now it seems that Robert Munsch is an alcoholic and uses cocaine. I think it's great that he's talking about it publicly--would be worse if it got out on its own.
Maybe my writing is sooo powerful that I accidentally cursed him!

Maybe you need to dust that story off and get it to an agent while the iron is hot!!
