Common Misconceptions About Writers

Sent in by Wandering Star: Common Misconceptions About Writers, from Crossed Genres, the Magazine of Science Fiction & Fantasy with a twist. Below are the misconceptions, but click on this link to read the funny explanations.

All writers are rich.

"Why are you still working?" (always said in horrified amazement).

Many fans believe that we write our own lives into our character's lives.

We are all insane.

We are all drunks or druggies.

All writers are ditzy.

Writers' creativity is geared only to the written word.

All writers are unhappy, lonely creatures.

I love this entry. Lonely? Rich? Drunk, druggie or plain crazy?
Some of the writers may not be penniless but I assure those peeps out there, we can't make money out of it in this country. ;-(
Writers have lives so we can write about those experiences in stories.

@rimewire: Hehehe. Which of those are most true for you? :)

@Maita: But it sure would be great if we can indeed make money out of it in this country! :)
