They wore fabulous clothes, dark sunglasses, and large sunhats.<br /><br />In the present, this is not me. This is not even me on vacation :) <br /><br />C.J.

I do think that wearing black its very artsy, though maybe more appropriate for literary fiction. ;-)Natalie Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03942601245897759078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156535934178525341.post-56546905132315312262012-08-28T08:23:16.904-04:002012-08-28T08:23:16.904-04:00I think as a romance writer, I feel compelled to b...I think as a romance writer, I feel compelled to be a bit more polished, elegant, put together, and just plain fancy. Like Mary Fisher. I feel like beauty and romance and flowers should be a part of my every day life, and that when I sit down to write it should be this calm, heavenly experience. I feel like I should be wearing evening gowns and drinking champagne. I feel like I should not raise my voice or abandon my cart in the grocery store when my kid is screaming too loud for me to continue to deal. I suppose I have a stereotype of what a romance writer should be...and I don't fit it. I wear head to toe black most days, after all. I imagined as a romance writer, I would be swathed in pink chiffon!<br /><br />Instead, I am terribly ordinary...well, with a hearty dash of eccentricity which is finally justified by my "writer" status:-)Olivia Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440900565624321487noreply@blogger.com
