So you're a writer.... uh?
| Recently in the Chit-Chat forum at Romance Divas Shari asked how people react when you tell them you are a writer. My answer is very simple. I don't tell them. (The only ones that know that I write are the members of the groups I belong to. And even they don't know my pen names.) *g* Why? I don't want them to find out. And why, you may ask. I love to veil myself in mystery. I enjoy the fact that people might read something I wrote, yet not know I wrote it. I get a kick of hearing them discussing something I wrote, whether it's good or bad. I even get a kick out of joining the conversation. If they're saying something good about what I wrote, I just go completely the opposite and attack it. If they hate it, then I defend it. What can I say? I get some cheap thrill out of the situation. I'm whacked that way. *lol* |

LOL! I do that with my poetry sometime Silma. :D
Bonnie - *evil grin*
Shawn - Good to know I'm not the only one. *g*
Yup, very whacked (grin). BTW, love the new banner (or the addition to it)!
So... I may have read one of your books and not known it! LOL.
LMAO!
That is so delicious. It really is.

Kat - Thanks! I love it too! I love this bouts of inspiration.
Since now I'm at home and my monitor is 800 X 600 resolution, I see that it's a little to big, and it doesn't show as I saw at work using a monitor of higher resolution. But I'm not going to shrink it. Most people have high resolution monitors anyway, right?
Annalee - It's possible. *evil grin*
Crystal - I know. I've got such a deviant mind. *g* I even do the same where I work. People who don't know me ask where I am, and I just answer as if I don't know who they're talking about, and you won't believe the info about me that I can pump out of them.
I stopped telling them too. I got tired of the "When's your book coming out," type of questions. I'm always tempted to say, "When pigs fly," only because the question puts me in a mood. :-)
Tanya
LOL! My coworkers almost always knew I wrote because I always wrote during my lunch hour. And I couldn't seem to help myself from telling them when they asked what I was doing. *g*
Tanya - I hear ya!
Tori - My co-workers know that I write too 'coz they have seen me typing furiously whenever I get a free chance. However, they don't know what I write or if it's published. They've asked, but I just smiled mysteriously and keep on writing.
