This be faction.</font>&nbsp; <font size="4">Unfortunately, people close to you sometimes have a hard time with this; and I understand ... get it.</font><br /><br /><font size="4">Nonetheless, what can I do?&nbsp; I've always considered writing to be the poor man's therapy - a garbage can to be kicked to the hopeful curb: this be where I deal with "things."<br /><br />Regrettably, it has recently caused me to lose someone close to me.&nbsp; I have been in the dark, for so long, that I am torn as to what to do.<br /><br />A long time ago a fellow writer remarked to me that there was not enough honesty portrayed within Canadian literature; true or not, it is something that I have continued to strive for - with a separation between reality and fiction.<br /><br />At this point, I believe I'll leave it at that.<br /></font></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
