10 THINGS NOT TO
SAY TO A ROMANCE WRITER… AND THE SNAPPY ANSWERS
YOU MIGHT RECEIVE IF YOU DO.
1. Did
you model that character after me?
a. No,
you’re too boring to be a character in my book.
2. Did
you get your plot from a TV program?
a. No,
that’s called theft of intellectual property.
3. Are
you going to put what I just said in a book?
a. Maybe,
but you’ll never know, will you?
4. Who
did you fashion your characters after?
a. No
one, they are fiction, remember?
5. Did
that really happen?
a. No,
that’s called nonfiction.
6. Where
do you get your ideas from?
a. I
buy them at the corner store along with my crack, heroin and diet pills.
7. Does
your mother know you write this stuff?
a. Yes,
and she’s buying copies for all her friends for Christmas.
8. Do
people actually buy your books?
a. Yes,
I’ve got the royalty checks to prove it.
9. I
could write something like this…it isn’t hard.
a. Go
ahead…I dare you!
10. This
isn’t real literature, you know.
a. Really?
That’s what it’s classified as by the United States government (when you file a copyright.)

So true, all of them. I usually get asked if my sex scenes are based on my relationship with my hubby. Yes, of course they are...lol
I like #6 best!When people ask me if I'll put them in my book I say, "Be careful what you wish for." Fun post, Jean! M. S.
So funny! People are always asking my co-author and I: Which character are you? Are they kidding?
Love it!
Love them especially #6
