    Very interesting story. I can relate to you on a lot of your thoughts and experiences.

    Have you already gone out with the Highway Child? When are you going to if you haven't?


    Jen sounds like she doesn't appreciate your friendship enough... maybe she'll grow up one day. I truly hope to believe that eventually girls realize that they should just go for the good guy.

    I have begun writing the final parts of my epilogue, so to speak. I am writing about my life. About experience in children's homes etc. It does help me in a therapeutic sense, but I do find it hard to write at times. Not due to writer's block, but because it brings back painful memories.

    My tips are, before you write a book, always handwrite your scripts. This way, the finished article will be perfect(when you come to typing it up on your PC/Applemac).

    Have fifteen minute breaks. Use this to walk around the block or to just have a cup of tea and a few penguins.Then you will perhaps have more ideas. Remember to be grammatically correct and punctuation is a bloody must! Punctuation affects the way people will interpret your story. Always try to finish on a bright note. After all, you don't want your reader's to be left feeling completely depressed.

    Your notes are also evidence that you wrote the book. If you decide to publish your works.

    My suggestion, Instead of A brief history of my life. How about A brief history of life? It will make you appear as a philosophical person. Thus, you will encourage readers to read your books. A unique style is what guarantees your success. Impress, but don't alienate.
