I've written every day since I was eleven. I used to be shit at it, too, but I've developed a distinctive style/rhythm for my words, so now I'm not half-bad. I'm currently working on a short story (to enter for the Bridport Prize), a steampunk-era detective series, and a comical book with lots of illustrations (done by myself) purporting to be a study on humans from the cat perspective. I can't stand working on one project at once. It smothers me.

Eight-thousand miles! Gods, that's a long distance! I don't believe I could stand something like that, haha. Of course, I can't say I didn't consider it once. There was a really nice English fellow I met on the Internet once, who I loved talking to. He even wrote me a poem... But I was shy, even over the Internet, and messed things up. When it comes to making friends I'm very outgoing, but relationships have never been my strong suit. I usually embarrass the hell out of myself, haha.

Yeah it is.
I am probs not going to be a hermit. And will never get money for writing as I am shit at it.
But yeah its long distance 8000miles... I love him though.

Yes, a hermit. I'm lucky enough to live on my family's farm, where I can basically just walk up into the woods, build a cabin, and subsist quite well on what I make from my writing. Which is a good thing, because there's not much work to be had around here that doesn't require an expensive degree.

LDR means Long Distance Relationship, right?

Haha
Its 4am I have been up since 6:30 am yesterday. So nearly 24 hrs. I had a 2 hr convo on Skype with my LDR though.
And hermits :3

Precisely! When I worked, my coworkers believed that I was some sort of a crazy, clumsy lunatic. Of course, they may have been right, because now I'm pursuing a future as a hermit... Though that's perfectly sane, I think, lol.

Haha
Well we have to be happy and cheery at work... I've become good at faking coz work actually thinks I'm a bubbly person....

Why be nice to dickheads though?

Just popping on to tell you that you remind me of my best friend! The whole "cheery shit" comment on that one thread and everything, lol.
