Couldn't agree with you more on that one.
I don't do much except write, so I'm not sure what I would do if I didn't.
I haven't been posting lately but I'm trying to come back so keep a look out for my stuff on the boards! |

People are always amazed that I live in oddball beaches and stuff. I tell them that with modern technology and the internet we writers can starve equally well anywhere.

I write fiction, but it´s not all lies, in fact it´s all true, merely embellished beyond recognition. And quite often the embellishing is done to save other people´s feelings, or to save me from being sued to hell and back. In fact, I´m going to amend my CV. I’m not a writer, I´m an embellisher.

No no no, you missed the part where writers get free women.
Find a horny divorcee with a house and you've solved the rent and food probems too. What did they teach you in college anyway?
