Adventures in Non-Existance

While a few people I know in the real world know that I write, the majority don't. Last night, I was at a dinner party with a few people and we were discussing the process of putting together a resume or CV (yes, my life really is this exciting). I mentioned that one of mentors was encouraging me to make sure that it read like a story and that you could always see where I intended to end up.

I like to joke that it is pretty hard to convince someone that you got a creative writing degree so you could wind up doing lab work for medical studies.

Friend: Well, you can just explain that like every other creative writing major you discovered you had no talent, couldn't finish a book, and would never be published.

Me: Exactly.

Or not :)
