We were standing around outside of class during break telling each other what we did for a living. I've started saying I'm a novelist, because, well, I am, and because when I say writer everybody wants to know what kinds of things I write anyway unless they think I've said rider, which gets *very* confusing, so "novelist" cuts out one step, except wow does that sound ... pretentious.

And I'm looking forward to reading THE VIRTU now. :)

*laughs out loud* I know, I know, I'm just an unspeakable snot-nosed bitch, aren't I? It's probably because I'm a NOVELIST. :)
