Monet,

I will share with you my quotes on writing, since you seem to be interested. These came by way of natural conversation, usually with hair stylists, who always seem to ask about one's occupation. I assume that they do it as a way to gauge income, and therefore, potential fuckability.

I'd call myself a writer, except I get paid to write.-Mission146

I'm a writer---that would sound a lot better if so many people didn't use that as a creative term for, 'Unemployed.'-Mission146

He's a writer? How much did he make from writing last year? Nothing? He's just a person who writes; lots of people write. He's not making us look bad, but he's certainly making us look unemployed.-Mission146

Asked what being a writer is like:

It's like any other job, except I don't punch a clock. I kind of wish that I did, because then I'd work as often as I should.-Mission146
