I have never written fiction before. I'm going to start writing a novel tonight. All I can say: It's going to be Lord of the Rings but in outer space.

It was very helpful. I also have the feeling that I've cheated trough a lot of books, also due to not doing the exercises in them, examples being No More Mr. Nice Guy and Prometheus Rising, despite both having helped me a lot and changing the way I saw things. I want to go back to them someday and do the exercises; emphasis is even put on them.
I congratulate you for having "solved some issues that tormented you throughout life". Although I haven't read Descartes, his way of problem solving came to me somehow, probably through someone else's books or videos, and I use it for everything. I even use it in written form (McLuhan's conception of media as extensions of man made me see writing as a very powerful extension of thought) to solve more complex or serious problems, such as financial planning or presentations on topics I care a lot about.
The two quotes you posted were very useful too. Thanks, anon. Have an apu.
