Fascination of one sort or another, usually with me ending up feeling like they don’t realize I’m human.
The people who are fascinated seem to view freelance writing much the way I did before I actually became one. As I recall, I pictured fame, fortune, and, I don’t know, a life of ease and glamor. I knew I’d never struggle for a word, phrase, or to hone an idea so it made sense on paper. I’d be perpetually creative.
