It’s Thursday, but I’m gonna take a late Road Trip. And, oh yes, this is my first Road Trip Wednesday 🙂
YA Highway asked: What’s everyone’s reaction when they find you you’re writing a book?
Turns out, not very many people know that. It’s my big secret (tra-la…oh, now you know). But there have been a few who found out.
Overheard…
Mum: “Sweetheart, when’s it getting published?” (like I control the publishing industry)
Dad: “Umm…right, you’re not serious, are you? Wait, are you planning to take that as a real job? I’m not opening a bank here, just so you know.”
Brother: “Wicked. Just get it done, will you..I wanna see it in print.” *punches the air* (my biggest fan, only fan)
Acquaintance #1: *blinks* “Okay.”
Acquaintance #2: “Go, girl. You can do it.”
Acquaintance #3: “You should write about the economic downturn.”
Acquaintance #4: “All right..um, will you do my homework?”
Random…
“What are you writing about?”
“So..*changes subject*”
“I’m so proud of you.” (Said person is someone I’ve never met before. Ahem. Courtesy Mum’s gushing)
“Get me a free book when it’s published.”
“Can I have your autograph?”
“Ah…teenagers *rolls eyes*”
“Will there be a steamy sex scene?”
“Why?” (’cause you’re not satisfying me, duckhead)
And while you’re at it, do stop over at Race’s blog. She’s holding a giveaway of The Secret Year.

Haha my mom says the exact same thing. I don't even bother trying to explain it to her anymore, lol.

Quick thought: you might want to change the font color you use to something lighter. I can't read that dark blue against the black without highlighting the post first.

Haha @ Dad. Yes, I think we all get that \”make sure you have something to fall back on\” speech 🙂
