Would you be my muse?

If your novel is mostly serious in tone, then I'd like to nominate someone of serious 'weight'. This person's name, and even their forum username, unfortunately remains unknown to me, but perhaps regular members will be able to identify them even by my clumsy description: her avatar consisted of a rainbow icon combined with a tree.

This next bit is going to read like an irrelevant piece of literary criticism but it is really is apt:

In the great novel 'Middlemarch', the heroine Dorothea is a kind person who strives to make the world a better place for all. She tries her best to help others, and is serious about this. She is both intelligent and self-sacrificing. But she is nevertheless a passionate person who yearns for the more wonderful things life may present to us - not material things, but those things which truly complete us, for all the good and dutiful works we might do. Dorothea longs for the true poetry of life, of love. 

The former forum member I'm nominating was like Dorothea - most of the time, our limited view only allowed us to see her generosity of spirit while her deeper heart remained hidden from us. Featuring a version of her in your novel would be a kind of tribute to such devoted, passionate souls who quietly and without fanfare make our lives better; those who deserve the poetry they've patiently longed for.

'The effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half-owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life.'

(from Middlemarch, by Mary Anne Evans aka George Eliot)

My longer post above this & my previous one is one of the most important I've ever written...because, for once, it is not about me or even what someone has done for me but about rightly focusing attention on them. People like my nominee deserve the attention and praise they never seek for themselves. They deserve to be noticed and celebrated.

That's why my writing looks like:

sentences have three parts. First about my similar experiences, comparing with post originator. Second contains fixes/patches/solutions, if mine then I say that one is mine. Third - wishes of luck my way.

There is so mucgh chaos and confusion nobody noptices I talk about me all the time

Find your solution.

you Brits do that, if you move

A lesson that we Brits would do well to learn, instead of shouting at non-Brits.

I wouldn't do that out of my own volition. It was a response to a need. You move abroad you must learn to talk like locals, or be forever stuck behind language barrier.

My god, you're talented as Nabokov...

Mate, you have the excuse of writing in a second language, which you do exceptionally well; I have no excuse.
