What do you say when asked what you write? Lynne Hackles helps you field the queries
‘Lynne’s a writer, ’ says the Long Suffering One (I wish he wouldn’t) when someone we’ve been introduced to asks: ‘And what do you do?’
He answers because he knows if they looked at me eagerly awaiting a response, I might say, ‘I’m a colorectal surgeon.’ That would have been guaranteed not to have attracted any in-depth questions. But now my rectal bits clench because I know what’s coming next.
