But on a serious note, Stephen Fry came to my Drama School yesterday. He talked about his life and bits of his career, viewpoints on language and writing etc. I was blown away b what he had to say, in particular about self-reservation when people write, such as thinking stories are too short, their writing style is a mixure of other people, that everything was too simple or too complex, that only friends would understand, that it was just a copy of Harry Potter (specfic example) etc.

Everything he said applied to me. I forze for a solid minute in shock. He lifted a cloud I barely acknoweldged I had.

Also, I wrote a pretty good song with my crush an hour later.
