While I get that you may not have a degree in English lit or creative writing, I was wondering if the wording you use doesn’t also include any degree taught in English? I feel, Mr. Drew, that you should be granted an honorary degree, or at the very least certainly qualify for one, or as they say, one from the school of hard knocks. I love that picture of the poets in straw hats on the street with manual typewriters. How romantic is that?

Like you, I have been writing since I was very young. My mother said that before I was two I was reading books alone for hours and my uncle said that I had the vocabulary of a doctor.
