Here is a collection of questions/comments about our profession that we authors most frequently hear during social gatherings.

Baby: A Cautionary Tale

So I am having company for Thanksgiving, and I am a little worried about it. I'm worried because one member of the company is my niece, who is still a baby, and she's going to be staying with me for a week. I know most people are all, “Ooooh, how cute,” over babies, but the […]

Half of the people reading this are probably feeling pretty happy right now. But half of the people reading this are not. I don't want ANYONE to feel down.
