My husband is the main wage earner in the family, but I take care of the kids (one with special needs) and I teach part time. Writing is my job. It's not a hobby that I fit in where I can, even though it does often take a back seat to the family's needs.USNessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806013779013310261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967806610957360397.post-20802780795916951982014-06-02T09:56:26.648-07:002014-06-02T09:56:26.648-07:00As one of those women who "take advantage of ...As one of those women who "take advantage of her husband to write romance", I suspect he's thinking men are victims here, that women are just trying to mooch off their "hard work and effort". Apparently he still is of the mind that writing is not "a real job". I work my butt off and romance is merely a happy ending, not necessarily a smarmy story with no real conflict. There is no "throbbing manhood" in my books, but there is conflict, adventure, and connection, which men tend to like. Most women writers have "Evil Day Jobs" which means they're writing ON TOP of other responsibilities and are hoping that writing pays off so they can still make the income they need to HELP their husbands (if they have one) with the monthly expenses. Kozlowski must think writers just sit around and stare out a window if he thinks writers (male or female) do nothing all day. What world does he live in? Most of us still work for a living, including the writing. This guy must really hate women.Siobhan Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595776353171184107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967806610957360397.post-14611955404041104542014-06-02T09:19:47.065-07:002014-06-02T09:19:47.065-07:00The URL name for that article link is even worse t...The URL name for that article link is even worse than the actual article name. One wonders if the author is sincere or is just trying to generate clicks and traffic (and which is worse).Don Bisdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481194650020222338noreply@blogger.com
