Hi Tracey, I feel your pain on this one. My business books paid for my life as the foundation of my speaking and consulting business, yet I never told anyone I am a writer. I got tired of answering the insipid questions, such have you written anything real, or have you written anything I might have read? Now I tell the truth, I am a writer, currently working on several books and then laugh my way through the nonsense, especially when I tell them my last book was poetry. I think writing is too far out of the understanding of most people, yet many have that unspoken dream too. Tell people Tracy, it is who you are and who you want to be, then enjoy the nonsense. Thanks for the read my friend. T
