Career counseling

type hand


"Mom ... If you quit your job you could write a book."

"That's a surprising suggestion coming from you. You never like my stories."

"What do you mean? I LOVE your stories."

"As I recall you said, and I quote: 'they have a beginning and end, but no plot'."

"That's true ... but if you didn't have a job you could work on the middle."

"I'm thinking maybe YOU should write the book."

Perhaps a future career as a tell-it-like-it-is editor is in her future?

I've been thinking about making a little sidebar for her reviews of books. She's a tell-it-straight sort of shooter.
