This isn't fair.

I enjoy writing

I want to be a Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Jasper Fforde

I can do SF

But the book I've shown friends, the one that is full length, not short stories, the one where they have become involved with the characters, the one where I made them cry....
It turns out I'm really rather good at...




Chick-lit.

Have you tried regression hypnosis? Perhaps you were a female author in a previous life.

It's just something to ground you as human.

The little flaw that makes you interesting.

Do you have a fantastic pen name?

She told me it was Bulgarian for "rhododendron".

Unfortunately, I don't speak Bulgarian.

You should worry....I can't spell rodododendron in English let alone Bulgarian...

It might be this...."рододендрон".....But I don't know how to say that, either. :-\

You could combine your two hobbies and write the compelling love story of a WWI officer and his penchant for wrestling female soldiers in the mud... We'll call it Fifty Shades of Brown...
