Objectification of Writers
http://agrammar.tumblr.com/post/1127...ion-of-writers

I found that posted on another blog earlier this week and thought I'd share. While I tracked down the "real" list that it's based on (or rather being snarky toward) it's not nearly as cute or hilarious.

Hope you ladies and gentlemen enjoy it!

I had my boyfriend read it and he just kept nodding and giggling. It concerned me a bit, but at least he knows he's not alone!

My brother was soooo happy that I found this site. He said that I was with my people and I could stop boring him with writer talk.

I LOVED #18! When people ask my husband what I do, he tells them, "She sits alone in a room and kills people."

This made me laugh, deep and hearty. I like #16 the best. Talking on the phone is torture.
