My closest friends and family know I write. I try to tell them all that it’s just a creative outlet and not to take it seriously so they don’t try to get too involved. My mom once announced to the entire extended family at a Mother’s Day brunch that I wanted to be an author. I could’ve kicked her if she was on my side of the table. This was what I was trying to avoid by telling them it was just a hobby. I think most of the family has forgotten.
There are a lot of haters where I work so I absolutely won’t be talking to any of them about it. Only one person outside of my writing life knows my pen name. And it’s not my mom!
I have a great writers group but they have recently started a Facebook group. I think who knows and who doesn’t is going to be outside of my control soon.
