      Whaleboy, the first thing you need to do is stop dressing all in black and get some new clothes. You won't feel like a freak or be treated like a freak if you don't look like a freak.

      Then get yourself some fresh air by going out around the block a bit. Maybe pick up a new hobby like jogging or something which wil get you outside on your own terms. That it would be good for your health is also a benifet.

            Whaleboy, do you know why you have become like that?

              Nothing wrong with that. Sounds like a good occasion to celebrate.
              Nooo! Tomorrow I will be a year closer to death. I've hated birthdays since I was 17.

              Well I've spent my time since 2001 ruining my education. Dropped out of sixth form, passed up a scholarship at one of the best schools in this part of the country, and spent most of my time at college drinking, taking drugs or womanising. I think I just lost my drive.

                And do you think that's a problem that needs to be solved?

                  Yah, hence anti-deps. The remnants of any drive I had are being thrown into this novel, guess I should think about retaking A levels or something.

                    Oh. Well then, maybe you should ponder what kind of studies will interest you enough that you can sustain the "drive" for long enough.

                    In my experience (I have terrible trouble keeping a "drive" for long), studies that are heavy on deadlines are better than those who let you free to organize your year however you want.

                      My partner failed his 'A' levels due to being at boarding school and feeling isolated because of his sexuality.

                      One might have thought that given his excellent performance at 'O' level this would have triggered some alarm bells with teaching staff, but it was the 70s, so nobody noticed.

                      I'm happy to say he is now a well-adjusted happy handsome homo in gainful employment possessed of a first class brain, although he has been in a long term relationship with me since 1984, so obviously there are still some creases to be ironed out....

                      Remember, kiddo- as Augustine of Hippo once said:

                      'Do not despair- one of the thieves was saved. Do not presume- one of the thieves was damned.'

                      And if that quote was good enough for chuckle meister Samuel Beckett, it should be good enough for you too.

                          Actually not so big a leap when you consider that Beckett's play 'Endgame'/'Fin de Partie' had a character called Hamm in it.

                            If you're planning on getting published - getting a copy of the latest "Writers and Artists Yearbook" can save you an awful lot of wasted effort...

                              You don't think obscene amounts of logic lends itself to amateur dramatics?

                              Cruddy, good advice . W&A is a good directory for agents, and I'd need an agent in order to approach big publishers. They get 50-60 new manuscripts daily, of which they'll take on maybe 8-10 new writers per year, and they'd just bin unsolicited manuscripts without reading them. Another route is smaller publishers where you'd have to pay but I'd prefer a bigger one. But I'll worry about it when I'm finished!
