 | Peggy Jaeger February 9 | Today I want to debunk a few misconceptions, so my Friday five is 5 myths about being a writer. - writers are master plotters. When half the group pants a book and half plots, and a combination of the two PLANTS a book, this one is just silly. No one writes in the exactly the same way as another.
- we are arrogant and have inflated egos. **Snort** Really? People believe this? Oh if they only knew the depths of my daily despair about my inadequacy as a writer!
- we don't care about reviews. We all say this, but the reality? Yeah, we do. A lot more than we should, but we do.
- writer's block is just laziness. This one makes me mad. Although I've never suffered from it I have writer friends who have and it's debilitating when the muse takes a holiday. It's real, people. It's not laziness.
- writers make loads of money. *Snort ( again)* If I wasn't married I'd be out working my butt off at a day ( and probably night) job. Let's put it this way: tax season is upon us and I've got no worries about owing anything to Uncle Sam.
