They don't get that someone would pay you to just sit home and write. (It does seem too good to me to be true at times, as well!) They "get" novelist...but most people just don't care. I'd like to say they care about other jobs...but deep down, they don't. I think for the most part people don't care much about other people and we just think they SHOULD care that we write because it's so cool!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-41639698257521636512014-06-12T22:39:20.374-04:002014-06-12T22:39:20.374-04:00What does f**ked mean?

He replied that he was a writer. The old man said, "Well, write something for me." Haley replied, "It doesn't work that way." The old man said "Maybe not, but if you told me you were a ditch digger, I'd expect you to be able to dig a ditch for me."The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-47388831062690658442014-06-12T14:58:23.212-04:002014-06-12T14:58:23.212-04:00Addressing envelopes?

To me the easiest answer would be, Whatever I feel like, but that wouldn't be the answer they'd be looking for. :-)<br />Deb@ http://debioneille.blogspot.comdebi o'neillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326849099713939434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-4254277304488038602014-06-11T15:49:23.825-04:002014-06-11T15:49:23.825-04:00Back in the '80s I tried to earn a living as a...Back in the '80s I tried to earn a living as a calligrapher, designing wedding invitations, newspaper ads, business cards, etc. I did get a few of those, but mostly people called me to... wait for it... address envelopes. Yup! Mostly for wedding invitations, and <i><b>all</b></i> of those were people who'd had their wedding invitations done at a printer's. Despite the lack of understanding for what I did, I actually did get some interesting gigs, including doing the wine list for a snazzy Australian-owned restaurant and the menu for an upscale sandwich shop. But not enough to make a living.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-41450946619704186312014-06-11T11:53:29.915-04:002014-06-11T11:53:29.915-04:00haha that can confuse many for some reason indeed....haha that can confuse many for some reason indeed.

I never really thought a writer could be construed as one who writes calligraphy or on walls.<br /><br />I do know what you mean about confusing people, though. I majored in Classical Antiquities. That's what the school called it. That's what I got my BA in, but every time I told someone that, they thought I was studying to be an antiques dealer. So I eventually just told people I study Ancient Greeks and Romans. Of course, I'm not sure that was much clearer.
