This particular quote reminds me of the constant struggle some of my writer friends have in that eternal struggle between writing for love and starving or "selling out" and getting a "real" job. Also, I plan on using that line: "Do you pretend not to understand my hints?" with my kids!Vicky Alvear Shecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570828339389206203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524039117682127217.post-13059140721082053362010-06-20T00:21:10.826+10:002010-06-20T00:21:10.826+10:00Rather in favour, I should imagine.

And that they didn't like lawyers either.Stephanie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437077559099315853noreply@blogger.com
