You certainly are, Audra, and a busy one at that.

I’ve been writing for years, but only publishing online since MS forced me to stop working outside the home. Now I hear comments constantly like “don’t you miss working?”

Actually, I don’t.

I miss the income I made working outside the home, but I don’t miss working because I DO work. I write. I write on homeopathy. I write on politics. I spend at least 8 hours a day reading, researching, and writing every day. I may not be a vastly successful writer yet, but I am most definitely a writer.

As a technical writer, I’ve always just used that as my label. But I also write fiction, I write poetry, I blog incessantly. And a few weeks ago it struck me that I really should just label myself as ‘writer’ and have done with it. It’s all I really do, after all. Who cares what type of writing it is, when all’s said and done? We’re all writers here.

Unfortunatley folks don’t think its a real job unless you are forced to leave the conforts of your own home for hours on end. I am glad you are a writter and I will be checking out your blog so I can become a better writter.

Thanks:)

Glad you liked it, Damien. I’m happy to have you as a reader.

@ Amanda: I’ve had a few of those ‘days off’ references myself, when I worked part time. As I pointed out, between writing and having a toddler (at the time), there were no days off in my house. Yes, a ‘James moment’ would be great!

Sharon, great point and one of my pet peeves. To balance out my writing I teach ESL 2 days a week and my colleagues wish me well as I head home “for my days off” ; a few people notice when I tell them I make a better hourly rate writing for the web than teaching, but I think most just don’t understand at all, or don’t even believe me! I’m waiting for a James moment when the bank manager pauses, that would definitely feel good!
