Things weren't helped by how I had a neurobiological condition with a component negatively impacting social skills and communication, a condition that didn't have a name while I was growing up. My whole life, it's been easy for me to be different from the others and to create characters who don't fit the status quo.

I enjoyed being on the outside looking in, being a fly on the wall, observing. I still like that better. Drama is great on the page, but I hate it in real life. <br /><br />Very nice post, L.G.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171670007828382529.post-49742816012129798662012-05-15T16:49:01.936-05:002012-05-15T16:49:01.936-05:00Awww, I feel so special today.

I think that's a big reason why we found each other in the first place. Sure, our parents both worked at the same place back in elementary school, which just gave us more time to interact, but we were both the odd pieces of the puzzle. To this day, I have a very hard time fitting in with much of anyone.

I have a close group of friends that I feel like I can really be myself around and thats it. finding writing friends that liked the same genres I did also really helped. I agree that it does give you an advantage as a writer, I never thought about that before. You can look at thingsAndrea Teaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050710871603076745noreply@blogger.com
