its-a-writer-thing:

These people said it best:

1. Just take the day off. You don’t have a boss to tell you no.
   • Bill is a common last name for writers’ bosses. Light Bill, Phone Bill, Insurance Bill, Internet Bill. The Bills are kind of jerky if they don’t get paid. Another common name – Deadline.
2. Write about me! Writer about me! Write about me!
   • Okay, but you need to know the accident will be so horrible your coffin has to be closed.
3. It’s not like you have a real job.
   • That one makes me want to give the person’s shin a real bruise.
4. I wish my job was as easy as yours.
   • Please, have a seat. Write something. Not much, just 500 words that are good enough to satisfy the Bills. I.Dare.You.
5. How much do you get paid?
6. Writers shouldn’t get paid. All you do is sit all day.
7. You act like writing is a real job, like a job a man gets.
   • That neighbor wonders why I don’t speak to her.
8. Maybe you’ll have a life when you quit writing and get a job.
9. It must be nice to be home all day so you can get your housework and laundry done while you work.
   • I can’t use the keyboard and load the washers at the same time but thanks for thinking I’m that talented. Now go the eff away.
10. You’re home all day so can you babysit for me?
    • Sure, as long as you don’t mind me putting Junior in an empty stall in the barn so I can get my work done.
