WHOA NELLIE. Back up the Conestoga wagon. I think you're ascribing more to my motives than I intended. I saw it on someone's LJ and thought "yeah, there are times this describes me; there are times it describes just about every writer I know." If I'd been given a choice, I would've picked being a really good actress with a cute face that aged well, not necessarily a writer. But it's OK; it's (under)paid my bills for 15 years. *G*
