“Anyone who thinks the pen is mightier than the sword has not been stabbed with both.”
― Lemony Snicket

Yesterday a new acquaintance asked what I did and I told her I was a freelance writer.

“Ooh, that sounds posh!” she exclaimed.

It was all I could do to keep from exploding with laughter. I work hard, I love what I do, I hope to do even more of it. But if it were up to me and my pen, dear minions, we would starve. Sex and the City has much to answer for in this respect.
