Thanks for commenting Peyton. I really like that last rule.

My novel writing rules would be-
1. Write what you love.
2. Write every day.
3. Be on friendly terms with rejection so you can submit again and again and again…

Most of my non-writing friend have a basic understanding of what it takes so I don’t have to rehash things so much. My mom, however, appears to be a lost cause. Sigh.

I understand what you mean. Only problem is that I have more non-writer friends than writer friends which means that explaining the royalties, the subs, requests etc is a bit like pulling teeth. It’s to the point where they don’t ask. and I don’t volunteer.

That’s why I love groups like RD - they understand!

I totally understand what you’re saying. I have nothing else to add, but that I’ve totally been there. Good thing we have each-other, right?

I’m very lucky that my friends, even my non-writing ones, like to hear about me talk writing.

But even my non-writing ones are eclectic weirdoes like myself.

I imagine it’s like that for a lot of us writers. Last time I talked to my parents, the told me I sounded like I was picking up the midwest accent. …Really? I don’t talk to anyone! LOL.

I do have non-writer friends, but since the move, I’ve invested much less time in making more. It’s hard and time consuming…and I like being at home.

Oh man, all my friends are online!!! I’m a loser! How did this happen?!

I write therefore I am. Maybe we should get matching t-shirts?
I completely understand. Just the other day my mum asked me about coming over this weekend and I had to tell her I couldn’t, I was still trying to edit the book, and she said, “I thought you told me you finished the book last month!”

LOL. I said to her, “Yeah, but manuscripts and stories are like potato chips, ma. You can’t have just one!”

Writer friends are crucial to a fellow writer’s sanity. Non-writer friends are good too, though. They make sure to dust off the cobwebs around your feet and always carry a mirror to put under your mouth…just to check. rofl.

((hugs)) from a fellow writer.

i have nonwriter friends who know i write, and nonwriter friends who don’t. those are the 2 distinct camps for me. my writer friends are all virtual. my friends who know are full of interest and support, so i’m lucky like that.

I don’t tend to say much about my writing to non writer friends even though they all know that I write. They really just don’t ‘get’ it.
