- Go to PEOPLE ARE IMPRESSED BY WRITERS, EVEN AMATEUR ONES
Kooka,
it is absolutely true that people are impressed by writers. The best example for me was this one: Many years ago, I was employed in a school as administrator. The headmaster (we call them directors) told me that part of the job was an hour of after-school care for kindergartners. I thought I'd go crazy as I know I'd be absolutely a disaster with such young kids!!!! For instance, I don't know how to change nappies! But.... to my surprise I discovered I could keep the kids quiet by just telling them stories. This was so easy for me, and the kids just loved them! They'd come to me and climb on my lap (and knees, and the rest of my body) to be close and listen to another story about the fairy princess and the evil dragon.
