None of them wrote any books, despite their black turtlenecks and deep thoughts and cigarette-stained fingers. You know, I dated a lot of guys that embodied that tortured artist stereotype.

Tortured artists are fun in theory but a drag at parties.)

Well, going out on that limb, my guess is that anyone who claims you don't look like a writer, Eileen, isn't a reader! ;) Remember when the topic of the week was “stereotypes?” Well, going out on that limb, my guess is that anyone who claims you don’t look like a writer, Eileen, isn’t a reader! ;)

Does that make me frivolous and shallow too? When I inquired what a writer looked like she said “you know, more tortured. Deep.” Apparently I look frivolous and a touch shallow.

As are you, albeit in a more approachable, friendly way. The 'best' advice I've gotten about publishing was from a cousin of my father's age who suggested I self publish and then perhaps my mother's hairdresser wouldn't mind selling the books in her shop. Like Jenny, I was rendered speechless, managing only to squeek out a "perhaps". I suppose the advice was well-intentioned, however... Henri is fabulous.

Thanks so much for picking up the book I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lisa- awww thanks. I guess if I have to choose between the looking like a writer and the writing part it is a no brainer choice. Jenny- I love the book club story- that's priceless Annette – you’re my hero. Thanks so much for picking up the book I’m glad you enjoyed it.
