My only way ahead is to use my creativity to make a future for myself.

People like me and at my age just can’t get real jobs. There is no point working in a menial job, paid barely enough to live on, work ridiculous shifts and being shouted at by some mutant. Employers think you cannot have any skills and are useless. I wish they would look at some of their own staff first.I have a right to be cranky after a decade in the doldrums. I think that is enough to make one jump off the golden Gate bridge.

I once had well paid work, but now with the help of the governments cranky systems I was unable to start the jobs.

Since, I have just completed my seventh children’s book; three are out in the spring. A forth is likely to be doing the publishers rounds shortly called Jo Badpenny.

I only wish I had the opportunities earlier. But I suppose daydreamers often end up writers.
