Thomas Wolfe had hypergraphia. His editor was patient. The end.

    Oh. The film is called Genius with Jude Law and Colin Firth and is about Thomas Wolfe whose books were longer and more verbose than many of our comments to each other, haha.

    Oh, I must catch that! Good actors too! And yes, haha… My husband said to me, “My dear, it’s generally accepted etiquette that when you comment on a blog post, you don’t make your comment longer than the blog post!” Oops. My apologies. That hypergraphia thing is funny for lots of reasons. Have an excellent day! 🙂

    Well, I heard this saying once: “If you learn to laugh at yourself, you’ll never be short of a laugh.” (In a nice way of course, not in a sniping way. Humour is good at taking the heaviness out of things.)

    Cherilyn has a good description of these kinds of foibles – like unwittingly breaching etiquette because excessively navel-gazing. She calls it “having fleas”. She says that people who have fleas (because they lay down with dogs, I think is the reasoning) often fear that they too are narcissists. 😉
