Those who are not creative usually do not understand us. <br /><br />I often get those comments,too--"Is that all you do, write?" <br />Turth is, it is what I enjoy doing. And at this time in my life, it is exactly what I want to spend my time doing.Linda Pendletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333787752335329007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-45607702732806264162012-03-08T17:56:29.521-08:002012-03-08T17:56:29.521-08:00I had to get a "real job" late last year...I had to get a "real job" late last year and it's working on a computer. The last thing I want to do when I get home is stare at a screen. My characters are still talking to me, though and I've filled a couple more blank notebooks. Problem is getting those ideas into my new laptop. Will have to get into a routine, right? Folks still don't understand about ebooks though, you're right. Thanks!Julee J.

Don't you ever relax?" They don't understand that for the most part, writing doesn't feel like work because I love doing it. I HAVE to do it. I would do it even if I weren't selling books. In fact, I did for many, many years.<br /><br />Being able to make a good living doing what I love is a dream come true. I consider myself extremely lucky and infinitely grateful to my readers who allow me to do it.ANDREW E.

I like how I can set my own daily schedule, working around appointments, naps, lunch dates, etc. And I love working in my comfy sweats. And who cares about bad hair days? Saves on gas, too! And since I get paid through PayPal, I don't even have to go out to the bank to deposit checks! And I get to interact with talented, creative people to make a good story even better. All in all, I love it.Jodie Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180607353893233389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-30195691574112003442012-03-08T10:42:43.891-08:002012-03-08T10:42:43.891-08:00Great post, CJ!

Sometimes, I think about going back to work in an office just so people/family will leave me alone for a few hours a day. :) Nice post!L.J.
