Except I'm also in the same boat as yourself. Whilst my class members know, my teacher doesn't. She knows I write on the side, but doesn't know the genre.<br />The literary buffs can get a little... not sure how to put it. But most are cynical of the genre.<br />My year 12 teacher was and I have often had a giggle when she mentioned anything about it lol.<br />I imagine the look on her face if she saw a post or article on me in the future would be priceless.<br />Thanks for stopping by.<br />WAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159139951189728335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186308883504791658.post-874463215164624142012-07-28T19:00:23.649-07:002012-07-28T19:00:23.649-07:00Fiona, that's brilliant.

It's not about what the people around...Exactly. It's not about what the people around you want you to write. I am still very young and most people are shocked when I tell them I write romance. But just yesterday I had a customer come in and one second I was talking to her about suitcases and the next the RWA conference and the organisation itself. RWA has definitely help me come out of my shell and as I get further, I have come to be more open about it.<br />Like you said. You love it. And wouldn't want to do anything but what you love.<br />If you're someone who likes to working out in the open, you're not going to set yourself up in a dingy office just because it 'looks better' to those around you. :)<br /><br />Jeez... Here I go again. This comment is a blog post lol<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Bronwyn.<br />WAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159139951189728335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186308883504791658.post-65551159770996432462012-07-28T18:54:41.138-07:002012-07-28T18:54:41.138-07:00My daughter proudly told her new creative writing ...My daughter proudly told her new creative writing class at uni that mum writes romance and her first book is coming out soon. What can I say! So happy that she's proud of me. <br /><br />But I won't tell my munchkins at school that's what I write. For a similar reason, I write under a pseudonym as I don't think it's appropriate to share this aspect of my life (and I'm sure the department would frown if I did). <br /><br />Good post, Whitney!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414582999142142178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186308883504791658.post-37372351549673260782012-07-28T18:47:41.470-07:002012-07-28T18:47:41.470-07:00Maybe it's because I'm old and I no longer...Maybe it's because I'm old and I no longer care what random strangers think of me I quite happily tell them I'm an unpublished writer of Romance. If they are particularly obnoxious I look very innocent and tell them my favourite part is the sex scenes. If I'm really bad I might say that my DH loves to help me with research. One day I might write something that is simply erotica so when they ask 'Can you write anything else' I can say 'Oh yes I write erotica as well.'Fiona Marsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483455541888759566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186308883504791658.post-89726001888510756172012-07-28T18:37:23.951-07:002012-07-28T18:37:23.951-07:00Great post Whitney!

I felt like it wasn't enough but then I had to tell myself to get over it. People think what they think no matter the spin we put on it. I love romance novels and I don't care who knows it =) <br /><br />If someone asked me if I can write anything else, I would just say "Yep" and leave it at that =) Why would you want to write about anything else?Bronwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752688423873758175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186308883504791658.post-438819610861697412012-07-28T18:29:43.737-07:002012-07-28T18:29:43.737-07:00Thank you, Junita.
