 #WritersCoffeeClub Sept 30: What dumb things do people say when you tell them you're a [self published] writer?

🔸 Can I buy your books in Waterstones? 🤔
🔸 How many pages in your book? 🤦‍♂️
🔸 I don't read books. Is it available on Audible? 🤦‍♂️
🔸 Fantasy? You should write YA. 🤬
🔸 I was surprised by your book. It was good 😱
🔸 Are you famous?  😎
🔸 Can you give me your book for Christmas? 🤦‍♂️
🔸 I'm a frustrated writer... 
 @5a43dd67 "How many pages" makes me think of the Steven Wright joke about how he's writing a book and has all the page numbers written. 🤣
