I hope this article goes many places. I too have had similar daydreaming.
I have been working on my book for 22 years. My friends, family, and colleagues think I’m so crazy, I dare not mention it any more. I have just spent two years on various online forums trying to promote of an alternative system of governance. I keep plugging along as spare time and energy permit. But I have come to the conclusion that my work might get recognition after I pass on to the next world. Sort of like Vincent van Gogh!
These days, I call my project my hobby. Other fellows my age spend time on the golf course or restoring old cars or sitting in pubs. My hobby does not cost too much and keeps me at home, which keeps my wife and kids happy.
