James, you're in a writer's group that's about L&C? That's great! I'm so jealous! I wish there were one like that close to me.

I don't hide my involvement (my screen name is my real name) but neither do I tell everyone I meet about it. People often look at writers and musicians and computer programmers oddly anyway, and I don't see any reason to make them think I'm even weirder than they already think I am.

And I'm not weird. Really. I'm just - gifted.


Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.
