All right, since I mentioned it as a request for a couple artists here, I've decided to turn it into a challenge. I have a funny picture in my head of a lizard man working as a soda jerk, or sometihg of that ear with the paper hat, white dress shirt and apron. I've asked a couple artists to draw that as a request, but I'd like to get more artists involved, just to see different takes on the concept.
I'm still working on a challenge picture for whtdragon, I hope to have it done this week. The letter then takes top priority and the other stuff I'm working will be worked on later.

It it Shakespeare, but there's nothing rotton in the state of Denmark tonight. Now, In Cawdor fair is foul and foul is fair. If the hint alludes you, I've answered the riddle futher down.
It's hard to eavesdrop on a public forum such as this one. If I didn't want comments on particular topics, I'd be hiding away in PM not posting anything on here at all. If I could put this mind to work for me, I'd be doing something. Since it's always producing anyway, why not try to make money off those efforts. Thing is, I don't even know how to go about doing that, or where to begin researching it. I was called a dreamer in school a lot too (back in my first round of public schooling when I was in first grade), but that was because I was ahead of my class. I still dream a lot, and won't ever stop. If reality would be kinder to me, maybe I wouldn't have to hide away in my own world so much, at least I'm comfortable in here,and I can get by. Relaxing isn't hard for me, but I can't ever stay relaxed for more than a few minutes. Look at when I post, usually between midnight and five am east coast US time, what's that tell you about my sleep pattern?
I know, it was a personal choice I made long ago, and I stand behind it firmly.
Then I have four years to decide. With insurance, gas, and other factors involved (one being no place to park a fourth car), I'm not ready to give up that phobia just yet. Maybe I should weigh some things though. As for people, I do get nervous around them, that's been a major determent to my getting a job. At least one interviewer had the moral decency to tell me that was his biggest issue with hiring me.
If a dentist walked into my house right now and offered to fix all my bad teeth for nothing, I'd rather be doing that than writing this letter. As I said, there is no kind way to say what I need to say. No amount of sugar in the world can curb the bitterness this time.
I'll take the time tomorrow to look at that in more depth. I'm not in the learning frame of mind right now, I have too much to get done.

See the answer below for info on the passage.
I'm sure I will, I just need to motivate myself to do it all.

Thanks for the luck, I could use it. The answer to the riddle is below the comments.

My, answer below explains it.
I know the feeling, but only to a degree. I've got stories I haven't looked at in three years, but I know when my mind needs to, it'll go back to them and worl like it never stopped. If you need to, draft up a spontaneous short piece to warm you mind up. Some of my best work was done that way.
Mamma Vash:
I know I don't have to do it, but the answer is right below you there. You can't really have the sound and fury without just cause though, I'm sort of attached to the whole line It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. as well as other parts of that monologue Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. being part of it. To me, the pay would makke up for having to tolerate office politics, but being unemployed for six years will make a person that desperate.
Well, to be honest, the person I'm following up with is probably expecting another phone call. I had spoken with her over the phone in April and I let her talk me into following up in six months time. I don't communicate well impromptu, for those who don't know what that means it meas unrehearsed, and unprepared, and The woman caught me off guard too many times during the conversation for my liking, so I chose to follow-up with a written letter. she can call me all she wants, I'm not going to deal with her over the phone again. I have to choose my wording carefully this time, so I don't present myself as an ungrateful, selfish, bum. This whole mess started with a set of ill-tempered letters, so this one has to demonstrate some measure of tact that the others (and I myself during the phone call) didn't show. Finding nice ways to tell someone they gave worthless advice isn't as easy as the most eloquent way to tell someone to stop talking (the "tale told by an idiot" line works wonders for that). If only I could communicate half as well in person as I do on paper, I'd be doing something.
No I hadn't given that any thought. I think that would be too much pressure for me though, the cameras, the schedule, the actual game itself, I just don';t know that I could handle all that. Besides, I'm not very photogenic, and I'm sure they don't pay for everything while contestants are there so it's self defeating. And one last major point, I don't want to do anything that would give West Virginia "good" publicity, this [Censored] does not deserve that kindness from me.
Answer:
A lot of you guessed at that passage I posted last time, coming pretty close, some even identified it, but weren't sure. The passage I posted last time was indeed Shakespeare, it came from Macbeth. For reference, it was in Act V scene V. If that was a fun challenge for you, please let me know, I'll do it as a regular feature. All right now, Back up to the comments with you, if you skipped down here.
