Look out for my letter in the Grauniad tomorrow.
Oh it's a masterwork. How am I sure they'll publish it? Well they phoned me asking me if I'm who I say I am, because the letter is up for publication. Do they think I'm some famous writer/comedian who's sending letters under a nom de plume. This will be my third in 4 weeks. Most odd.

Nice one Jude. I had the reason explained to me this morning in my therapy group, why the letters page phoned me to check out if I am who I say I am. Apparently it's not unusual for writers to foment debate, by writing into papers under a pseudonym. This is normally about a play or a novel of theirs. The most famous being Joe Orton I'm told. Wow! To think that I might be thought of in the same breath as Joe Orton, even if it is so tenuous as to be virtually invisible. See: the things one discovers in recovery.

One of the things I learned in recovery is that my odious,egotistical impulses lead me to delusions of grandeur, when in fact I am a a very ordinary young lady of average abilities!
So what, they thought you might be Freud?
