Hi. I understand totally about not fitting in as a 'normal' person; as a stereotype anyway ... what is normal I ask? ... if it's to follow what the majority of society conform to then I say ... be proud not to!! Edgar Poe's poem 'Alone' told of his feelings of alienation and perceptions that weren't of the 'norm', but he stayed true to his writer's instincts and found his own voice - even when penniless - and the world of literature is a far better place because of it... I sincerely hope you find a job to pay your household bills, however regular and humdrum it is, but you'll still be able to write ... your imagination and talent are so beyond the monotony of humdrum existence that it simply won't allow you to drift into creative meltdown ... even if you only write for an hour or less each day, the urge will always take you there, you simply wouldn't be YOU without it, and we love you for that talent and that belief in yourself Hollis ... you ARE literature! ... keep chanting and keep creating ... the only abnormal for you is right here for our entertainment! Ian
