I find many of us writers agitated because we try and try and try and try and try to blast it in our family and friends that writing is part of our blood, it's who we are and we're happy with it so just puh-lease, leave us alone. Is that too hard? Apparently, it is.
So, if you want a nice chuckle, hop on over and see my hypothetical questions and answers and then come back here and post some of your own angst you've had with family and friends pestering you about your writing and what you answered. Offer some more ammunition on top of what I offered at the Writing Jungle to our fellow readers.

"Why do you work from nine to five? Don’t you want to spend time with your family?"
I like that response!
I guess I've learned to trip them up with my initial response - I always say I am a professional speaker and author. They tend to focus on the speaking part rather than asking about the writing. But the question of are you a best-seller or rich? I still get that now and then.
One I do get that annoys me is the instant response of "I've always wanted to write a book!" followed by a ten-minute description of said book. Okay hero, if you think it's so easy, why haven't you done it???? I don't know - always seems to be an attitude of 'Well, I could do THAT!' in their words.
Great info, i glad to see this blog, such an informative article, Thanks for share this.
