Okay, perhaps. But allow me this; do you have examples of his writing when he was your age? My assessment, although meant sincerely, may be a bit of speculation since I am no Joyce expert, but I doubt that Joyce was turning out what you're writing now when he was a young man. I could be wrong I guess.
In other words, you're a helluva writer Jolly. Look forward to a long and fruitful career. :)
