If it were, I have to admit my temptation would have been to give a sarcastic answer like "the voices in my head make me do it." After all, everyone assumes creative people are rather off kilter. But your rational argument is probably a more legit response. :-)<br /><br />BTW, I've tagged you for the "Lucky Seven" meme in which we share a snippet from our work.

I realized after feeling defensive that the other person really didn't realize how she sounded . . .she was actually genuinely interested in "what" makes a writer and "why" someone feels a need to write or feels qualified to write . . . she just didn't get it.<br /><br />Tonja - no idea, but she had some interesting notions that writers were "qualified" only through graduate course training and a study of literature.<br /><br />Angela - I agree. All it takes to write a novel is passion, research, and hard work at actualy writing. And Thanks for the offer of some sass! :-)<br /><br />Golden Eagle - Thanks!<br /><br />Karen - Thank you!

Not sure what the interrogation was about, but whenever I mention I write I let them know it is a passion, something I love to do. If asked about my qualifications - which hasn't happened yet, knock on wood - I'd probably giggle at them and explain that an MFA, BA in Fine Arts nor an associates in Liberal Arts are basic requirements to qualify a person to write a novel. For me, what qualifies a writer is having the idea, the desire to research and give it your all and then writing the darn draft.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797583622244194866.post-77277931268894846342012-04-21T10:16:30.065-07:002012-04-21T10:16:30.065-07:00What qualifies them to judge you like that?!

I hate it when I feel cornered to prove to someone that I'm capable of writing a novel. The only people who really know are my family and close friends. But in the cyber world, it's different. Being involved in a writing community is empowering. These people, these other writers, know and understand exactly what I go through and the challenges I face. So cool and awesome! :)Precy Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714824672731935371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797583622244194866.post-29025218535968554112012-04-21T07:51:06.429-07:002012-04-21T07:51:06.429-07:00y spelling is ...........y spelling is ...........kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052361237893875586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797583622244194866.post-19263324503149630912012-04-21T07:51:03.597-07:002012-04-21T07:51:03.597-07:00y spelling is ...........y spelling is ...........kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052361237893875586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797583622244194866.post-28128718657482756262012-04-21T07:49:14.035-07:002012-04-21T07:49:14.035-07:00I have been remiss on following your blog.
