The Terrible Secret

[bloodyrosemccoy]

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.

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.
