I feel you on the sea of raised eyebrows, LOL. I have actually made a living as a writer for years and it has only been in the last year that my family has recognized it as a “real” job, ha ha ha. Rock on! Keep on keeping on and let me know if there is any way I can further support your success, :D.

Thanks for this hilarious list, and thank you for writing “We Are not Alone”- I’m going through the steps in your book and, in a sea of raised eyebrows, (friends and family) I feel like someone is rooting for me as a writer.

I write fiction. What I end up with at the end of the day is mine. No one can take that away from me. It is my tale, crafted in the way I wish it to be. There is only a small percentage of people who can say they have created something truly unique.

Laughed aloud! It’s also great to be sitting around looking out the window and telling a family member who asks, “What ARE you doing?” this: I’m writing!

And one has a good excuse to sit in a cafe and eavesdrop. Aside from being just a general nosy parker. 😀

Yes! Those Capital One vikings crack me up every time…
