So seriously, have you ever dated a writer? What’s good about dating you? What makes us so goddam special? 😉 Let’s big ourselves up today, I could do with a boost 🙂

The thing I like about writers is the skill of observing: those nuances of human nature, a great line of overheard dialogue, the way someone throws their foot slightly to the side with each step and we can see the worn outer edges of their shoes. It’s great to have another writer to talk to…dating or not.

Yes! Go writers! Er, just one thing, Vikki. If it’s true that, “Writers are sexy. There is a reason that people have fantasies about the school librarian. Male or female, those bookish types are hot hot hot.” Why is it that I can’t find a fella?

I laughed when I read the title of this post. I haven’t gone into the link yet because my computer is playing up. It took me ten minutes to get into your post – I was thinking of giving up but persevered – you’re special 🙂 I’ve got another couple of posts I want to check out tonight, so I’ll probably be sitting her until morning waiting for them to open (or I may just go to bed and try again tomorrow). This comment is getting long and boring, but hey! I’m here now – may as well make the most of it – woo hoo
To answer your question: I’d never date a writer – I find it hard enough putting up with myself! 😀

Oh no Dianne, sorry to hear about your computer honey. Hope you get it sorted out soon 🙂

I haven’t dated a writer before (Although a few writers have wanted to date me lol). I always thought it wouldn’t be a good idea – with the competition and that annoying-ness of being with someone who is too much like you.
I’m sure it’s not always the case, though. There’s so many different types of writers out there. We’re awesome people, aren’t we?

Well, I’ve just read a piece by Jonathan Franzen where he attributed his marriage breakdown to the fact that he and his wife were both writers, so perhaps it’s not such a good idea after all 😉

I think it was more to do with the fact that she was the more talented writer, whereas he was the one who got the publishing deal and became commercially successful. He felt, in his words “very very guilty” Whoops!

That’s bound to happen. He shouldn’t feel guilty. He got the right thing in front of the right person at the right time. Out of any profession another writer should understand and be proud. Clearly the wrong woman for the right man at the wrong time. 🙂
