You are a deeply caring, understanding, and charitable human being. You are the kind of gem that people spend years trying to find. A deeply compassionate soul, you love and help others altruistically. You have a genuine affection that is easily recognizable and highly commendable. Honestly, we'd all want nothing more than to have more of you in this world!

As if I didn't know this about myself.
If all it takes to be "All American," is writing the best novel, then honey; I'm ready to be All American. I will do just that. I will write till my heart is content. Never mind the fact that you'll find some of my writing on an android, pieces of paper strewn about my desk or often, scattered everywhere. Sometimes. it depends on where, in my house, I have daydreamed and needed to quickly jot down a thought or two. I'm forbidden to do the coffee thing, since I have high blood pressure. I'm not insane or obsessed about anything as an author, however, I have been accused of "ear-hustling" from time to time when I sneak in on personal conversations, trying to get an inspiration. Every author, from what I've read, has had an unusual way about themselves or has been deemed a bit strange. For centuries, it has taken the "strange" in the arts to unfold the kind of artist we see today.
Here's a list of those weird habits here

Nonetheless, an author's writing should speak for itself, despite the disparagement of being deemed weird or out of the ordinary. It's all about the effort of getting your story from the brain to the paper, to bring dreams and ideas to fruition. It may not even be a best seller. You may have even refused to shower, just to get a script done. However, someone will like it. Someone will relate. Someone may even be inspired by what you've written and try writing for themselves.
Having written and shared a great deal of "my project babies," on GoodReads, has benefited in beginners like myself in gaining confidence in letting others view my work. Particularly because there is a fear judgement.
I individually view goodreads as a time capsule for authors like myself and those who have had the utmost success. Laugh, if you must, right now there are 9,175 poetry tags on goodreads, mine being among them. Chances are, one of my poems would be found interosculate amongst the other poems, should there be a time of doom and all hardcopies are lost. Someone from the future could stumble upon www.stumbleupon.com the work of goodreads authors, mine being among them. Chances are, one of my poems would be found interosculate amongst the other poems, should there be a time of doom and all hardcopies are lost. Someone from the future could stumble upon {www.stumbleupon.com} the work of creative goodreads authors.
Better there than them collecting dust under your bed. Anyhow, my inner nationality did not mention my being weird or my lacking confidence. Two inner traits I do believe I behold. But it did say that I was that gem people spend their lives trying to find.
If that's not enough encouragement to keep writing on GoodReads, I don't know what is.
