The Terrible Secret

This is altogether too true about what it’s like to be a writer. Except for the part where, in casual conversation, you will also mention your characters’ exploits the way your mom periodically tells you about the goings-on of relatives you only barely remember, and people will stare at you all funny.

I probably shouldn’t even be telling you this.

Blame for outing our secret lies partly on Wil Wheaton, who linked to this.

Indeed.

I've taken to saying, when my wife asks me how my day went, "I wrote all the way to Bloedel Donovan Park today, taking the Old Railroad trail. Man, that must have burned a lot of calories!"

Hah! Probably a good way to explain how you spent your time!

It actually saves a lot of conversation to use the word "writing" or "wrote" instead of "daydreaming" or "planning."

And then there're are the days were I spend an inordinate amount of time writing in the bathroom.
