The writing life does not lend itself to work/life balance. Writers define themselves by what they do, and if they don’t they should, even if it means having to deal with people who say, “really, a writer. Have I ever read anything you’ve written?” You are writers. They are not. They envy you. Trust me.
I especially loved this bit...."My accountant specializes in doing the taxes of creative people and I have long suspected she looks at her clients as charming, off-kilter souls who cannot add. The little dears." As a former accountant, I was reminded of many little dears but they weren't always writers.
