“So are you still writing?”

What the writer says: “Um…yes?”

What the writer thinks: What? Did you think I would just give up? Quit? What kind of question is that!?

“What are your plans with writing?”

What the writer says: “Well I’m still working on the book….”

What the writer thinks: What are your plans for the rest of your life? I don’t know! I’m making it up as I go along, just like everyone else.

“Oh, I don’t read those kind of stories.”

What the writer says: “Yeah, they’re not for everyone.”

What the writer thinks: Just spit in my face why don’t you!

“You should write a book about….”

What the writer says: “Interesting idea! Maybe I will when I have some time….”

What the writer thinks: Dude. My head is constantly swimming with hundreds of book ideas. I will never write that story. I’ll never even write all of mine. If you want me to, pay me.
