Dropped out of HS at 15
Got my HS diploma at 21.
Did some college, at about 40 or so; aced what I wanted to; flunked the rest. One semester i took 21 units, Fuckin crashed and burned on that one, jack. Did do well in the communications/writing course til I dropped it, still got a C, the stuff they wanted me to write about was, uncomfortable for me. It comes out easier now 13 - 14 years later.
My granny used to put a book in my hands as I was learning to talk. Grew up reading. Six years inside an institution of criminal 'higher learning' you get alot of opportunity to read, it becomes habit. Everything (OK, damn near) I've ever learned, I taught myself.
History is littered with fuckers that had less education than me and wrote a fuck of a lot better. One of my favorite writers Stien/Steinbeck was one. Read some of his shit, then read Vonnegut, swear he was influenced by Stien/Steinbeck. Steinbeck can turn a phrase and write dialog that makes you laugh out loud.
Much like some fo the things you write my friend.
I wish I could be as funny as half the fuckers on this board.
