I don't like living the mundane life. I want to break free from it, and it sounds like we're both working on that.

Go ahead, do something weird and fun that people around you don't expect. If anything, it will stand out in their minds and make their otherwise typical day a little bit extraordinary. Sing out loud in the streets, bow to the cashier when he gives you your change, speak in one of your famous character voices (remember the D&D games that summer?) to your friends in public. Refuse to be completely ordinary. And at the same time, keep writing. Small things can give you a lift until you first get published and become a best-selling author.
