A collection of reflections on the nature of what it means to be a writer.
How do you find out what being a writer means to those who really are writers? You ask them. In this book, Adair Lara shares what the ink-stained, carpal-tunneled, slightly dazed, word struck people she knows had to say.
You know you're a writer when . . .
. . . You'll never forgive your parents for your happy childhood.
. . . The doctor tells you that you have terminal cancer, and you think, "I can use this."
. . . You accidentally sign a check with your pen name.
. . . You know more than ten synonyms for "blue."
. . . You write your Christmas letter as if it were War and Peace.
Many readers will recognize themselves in this collection of observations about the eccentric, quirky, word-obsessed condition that is being a writer.</A collection of reflections on the nature of what it means to be a writer.
