The other day at the NaNoWriMo meet I was chatting with this nice chap named Mike, and we were talking about the "day jobs" of NaNo writers. We noticed that there seemed to be a high percentage of NaNos that work in computers. So I got to thinking, and I'm starting to wonder if that's the writer's "default job". For example, in L.A., if someone says they are an actor or actress, the correct (though often not too well-received) response is, "Oh really? What restaurant?" After talking to a lot of other writers in L.A., not just NaNos, I'm starting to think that when a person says "I'm a writer," the proper response may be, "Really? Whose I.T. department?"
