Before we were writers ourselves we probably thought and sometimes even said &#8220;Yeah right! You&#8217;re sitting around watching Oprah and playing video games, unemployed again.&#8221; Admit it. When most people tell you they are writing a book, even if they are sitting at the keyboard and you can see the word processor open with content in it, you don&#8217;t believe.<\/p>\n<p>Some years ago I had a friend who was a head hunter for full time IT workers. She would call people up whose resume she came across to pitch a low paying full time job and the voice on the other end of the line would respond &#8220;I&#8217;m a consultant.&#8221; About half the time she would respond &#8220;So, unemployed again, eh? This is a full time job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you are old enough you run into quite a few people who will at some point say &#8220;I&#8217;ve got half a novel in a drawer at home.&#8221; When I heard that I always thought &#8220;In order to know you are half way done you must know exactly how long it is going to be, so just finish it.&#8221; I don&#8217;t think I ever said that out loud to anyone, but I could have. When I was younger it certainly wouldn&#8217;t have been out of character for me. Makes you wonder just what people store their &#8220;half a novel&#8221; on in this day and age. Do they print it all out and stick it in that same drawer? Do they store it on a 3.5&#8243; floppy hoping the floppy never gets polarized and that they will some day, some how be able to find a machine that still has a functioning 3.5&#8243; floppy? (Says the guy who has more than one machine with a fully functional LS-120 and lots of book snapshots on the media.)<\/p>\n<p>We are conditioned to believe this is a made up occupation because so many deadbeats use it as a cover for &#8220;sitting around watching Oprah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 405px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.duckduckgo.com\/iu\/?u=https%3A%2F%2Faos.iacpublishinglabs.com%2Fquestion%2Faq%2F700px-394px%2Fmany-homeless-people-world_e08ae19aaab041cc.jpg%3Fdomain%3Dcx.aos.ask.com&amp;f=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/www.reference.com\/world-view\/many-homeless-people-world-e08ae19aaab041cc noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.duckduckgo.com\/iu\/?u=https%3A%2F%2Faos.iacpublishinglabs.com%2Fquestion%2Faq%2F700px-394px%2Fmany-homeless-people-world_e08ae19aaab041cc.jpg%3Fdomain%3Dcx.aos.ask.com&amp;f=1\" alt=\"Homeless person image\" width=\"405\" height=\"228\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">What Happens to &#8220;Day Traders&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During the Clinton years a great many deadbeats switched to calling themselves &#8220;Day Traders.&#8221; They kept telling everyone that while all of their credit cards were getting denied because this new video game called &#8220;active investing&#8221; consumed all of their money until their new home didn&#8217;t have an address.<\/p>\n<p>So. At what point do people stop thinking that of me?<\/p>\n<p>When Stephen King tells someone &#8220;I&#8217;m writing a book . . .&#8221; nobody questions it. A good many people may even be looking forward to the publication date. Why don&#8217;t I get that same respect? Multiple times per day I get phone calls from &#8220;technical recruiters&#8221; who can barely put 4 understandable English language words together in an entire conversation and when I tell them I&#8217;m currently writing a book they chuckle or laugh. I tell them it is another book based on &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theminimumyouneedtoknow.com\/\">The Minimum You Need to Know<\/a>&#8221; trademarked series and direct them to the series Web site and still there is no respect. <em>This<\/em> from people who cannot even speak my language and are trying to get me to take a dramatically below market rate consulting gig.<\/p>\n<p>Christ, there are seven titles in that series. That&#8217;s not counting my novels and the two titles I did through a traditional publisher.<\/p>\n<p>At what point in an author&#8217;s career does does uttering the phrase &#8220;I&#8217;m writing a book&#8221; go from laughter and sneers to a reaction of respect and anticipation?
