Yes - you were lucky. I never really shone at school. I tried hard, but never got as far as I would have liked. I was once told I would probably do okay in the world because even though - in this one teachers opinion - I wasn't an intellectual, I worked hard. Not the best thing to tell a young girl at school who liked reading and thinking!
Guess it just made me withdraw more and more into myself and my imagination.
I think this is partly why I have trouble writing about the way the characters are feeling
I get the reverse - I get into the heads of the characters and play the scenes back and forth from different perspectives.
Can't wait to read your long fic! My current one looks like it could be a long one. I'm a bit tired tonight and so I'm finding it difficult. I'm not going to give any hints away though, cos I want you read it fresh, without any ideas as to where the story is going before hand. Might go to bed soon and think on it some more!
