Marc, you've written a truism that applies to a lot of people - maybe most people. I feel morally certain of it. Heinlein, Kerouac, Whitman, Joyce, Vonnegut, and many others, I am convinced, were just barely able to keep their roller coasters on something like a track as their heads threw them about and unending visions of punctual pygmies passed by. They had just enough discipline to throw the resulting words onto paper as they careened along and somehow kept going until there was something the rest of us could read and benefit from.
