Sure, if you’re aiming to work with joe public, or bustling office sitch, then you’ll need the odd mask for different occasions. On the other hand, someone like Naeem saw thru shallow intent, and if like does attracts like, then his ‘oddball class’ was a draw for that reason: So you’re an oddball? Don’t fight it. We are who we are.

And don’t go believing that crap about there not being any good young authors. Just like sports pros, writers get into a zone. It’s supposed to feel like ‘not writing’ when you’re tapping into your best prose. Ya always hear the phrase “It just came to me.” from the sucessful writers/muzos giving interviews. If you feel it’s a kinda destiny to do something or other, then give it every chance.

Even look’n on the down side, wannabe writers still proly have the best attitude in unpaid/lowpaid jobs. Heck, what other job can be done half decently even from prison!?

<- ooh look, a DAg smilie!
