"Maria never intended to write anything of her life, but a friend persistently pleaded with her not to allow her story to be forgotten by others. She denied she had any writing skill whatsoever, but her friend was not to be put off and kept on asking her whenever they saw each other. Finally, one day, in desperation, Maria excused herself and went to her room for an hour to scribble a few pages about her life story, hoping to prove once and for all she was no writer. However, this displayed such natural writing talent that she reluctantly agreed to finish what she had started, and her jottings formed the basis of the first chapter of her memoirs."

Any chances of getting sources for some of this?

"hoping to prove once and for all she was no writer"

I'm still campaigning for an "unquantifiable" help file for Wikipedia. How can anyone claim to know what was going on in someone's head? If anyone has any sources I'd recommend deleting the above and starting again with something vaguely encyclopedic. Mglovesfun 00:16, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
