"so ... what do you do?"

working again.
in the office all day.
lunch with co-workers.
gossip in the loo.

i'm writing for a living.
writing full time.
but it still startles me to hear myself being introduced as a "writer".

it seems pretentious.

but it's what i do.
it's all i've done for that past 10 years.

good god. ten years.

i'm a writer.

so there.
