Elizabeth --
 
Remember that you are in the best of company.  The main reason people came
up with that silly theory about Sir Francis Bacon writing Shakespeare's
plays is that they could not believe a commoner could write like that.
Rebecca, my 17 yo daughter whom I have to thank for introducing me to the
joys of ferrets, writes like an adult too.  Know why?  She reads lots.  I
wonder if the people who doubt your existence read much when they were your
age.
 
Blessings
