Occasionally I get the notion that being a professional writer would be a glamorous job. Then I do things like add a bunch of people I kinda/sorta/vaguely/virtually know as friends on Facebook, and the ones who respond almost instantly -- at prime party hour on a Friday night, mind you -- are the ones who happen to be professional writers.
So though I already knew it on some level, it's helpful to remember that quitting the law and becoming a writer wouldn't have me out fighting crime at night or anything.
are the ones who happen to be professional writers.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm guessing most/all of us also happen to be parents, which means we're always home on Friday nights.
Excellent point.
ReplyDeleteI finally figured out Facebook, in part due to your invitation last nite to be "your friend". I actually have a profile now and 5 friends! I also learned that Jason Rosenberg has hair! A lot of it too! I had previously thought he was a bald guy. Isn't there a group photo on his blog which includes a bald dude?
ReplyDeleteAlso, at this time of year, a lot of sports writers are on the road Fridays for various football-related activities. Needless to say, there ain't a whole lot to do in Pullman except get drunk in the hotel bar and/or accept Facebook friend requests.
ReplyDeleteWho am I kidding? They don't have wireless in Pullman.
Yes, I have hair! I am part of the follically gifted club. Graying but staying, baby!
ReplyDeleteThere's a group photo but no one with a scalp showing; though my younger brother will be there soon unless he does something about it!
