I have wanted to be a writer since I was 6, almost 30 years ago. My 2nd best friend has known this since we met 20 years ago. In high school the repeated assurances that writers starve, made me go out and get a "real job." This "real job" and everyday life have gotten in the way of writing, so all I really have are lots of notes scribbled in notebooks.
2 months ago I was writing some notes, so she asked me to tell her about that book. I told her a basic outline, which has made my mom, and my other best friend rave. She told me the characters names were weird. The story idea okay.
Then this week she tells me some friends of hers say she should put her emails together to create a book. They say her writing is, per her words, "just so creative." These emails are just about her day to day life i.e. just like my blogs on myspace and many other people's
She wants me to praise her for starting on this book. Frankly I feel insulted. Is that wrong?
