  I received a comment to the piece I had written about Virginia Woolf.&nbsp; It was from Alex, a fellow Blogger ( Dylex linked on my page).&nbsp; He said, and I quote: &nbsp; I think that you are just realizing that none of us are cardboard characters. It has been my observation that most writers that are perceived as "successful" have had a series of "challenges" that have either "revealed" themselves / human nature or allowed them to truly examine how that "event" ultimately came to pass in terms of steps of a drama and "character" development which is always the basis of a "hot" story. In other words a writer has to be a little "off the wall"! !
