Respect For Artists Is Rare 2/18/2004 8:34:05 AM
There was an ad in one of my eZines today for the CoolStuff4Writers.com website http://www.coolstuff4writers.com/. They have t-shirts and coffee mugs etc. with different sayings for writers on them. One I found particularly interesting on a coffee mug:
I AM working…
I’m doing RESEARCH
Obviously, I’m not the only writer who’s faced people who treat them like they are lazy. I remember watching the movie Kate and Leopold. Kate’s brother was an actor and he makes a comment that went something like, “Just because I don’t have a paying job right now doesn’t mean that I’m not perfecting my craft.” I cheered! There’s so much more to the arts than non-artistic people realize. I wrote an article for my writer advice page about this phenomenon called “The Look.” It can be found at the following link. http://home.att.net/~s.c.ninlil.c.b/writer_advice.htm
