Stuff from a writer...

~It is perfectly valid for "you" to speak of a writing career~

Zoe, this just pisses me off as it supposes I didn't come up through the ranks, sweating my way, going through what every other new writer goes through.

It supposes I really don't know what I'm talking about in today's publishing arena because I'm somehow removed from it by success.

So I have to stop all this and go back to my privileged career—which for me, is continuing to sweat over the keyboard to write a book.
