#WritersCoffeeClub 18/8: Have you ever hidden the fact that you're a writer?Nope. While my status as an author hasn't gotten me any actual dates, so far (more's the pity - I suspect that aspect of the author's life is exaggerated), the response has been overwhelmingly positive and even impressed.It helps that my #folklore books have some pretensions of scholarship, and it does help with preserving and spreading German cultural heritage and so forth - so they don't have the same stigma that #fantasy and #ScienceFiction have in certain circles. Even my aging father, who otherwise doesn't really "get" most of my hobbies, is impressed and occasionally asks me for my latest sales numbers.
