People consider chores things that you do around the house in what would normally be referred to as 'down time', or, time you do not spend at work. So, in my case, the case of the decrepit unpublished writer, where i am seen as an unemployed bum when I do nothing save write from day to day, since this is my 'down time' and takes up large amounts of time with the endpoint having the same significance as me cleaning my bathroom, could this be considered a 'chore'? when is it that we the writing community can go around telling people that we are, in fact, writers?
what does that entail?
everyone has a justification for it that is slightly different but really when addressing the general working public saying you are a writer is synonymous with saying 'i contribute nothing of true value to society'. This, naturally, sucks. but whatchoo gonna do, better keep doing that chore of putting pen to paper, or in this blog's case, fingers to keys.
This may not have made sense, i spent a lot of time writing it completely distracted.

hanging out with people who do "job" jobs will always make you feel lazy. but what do they really offer to society? i'd rather read your writing then have my sandwich made by a "sandwich artist" at subway. and i think that reading your writing is more enjoyable than any newly paved road could ever be. i'd rather buy your book than pay anyone to do any sort of "normal" job.
don't worry about, leave the jobs for the people who like that sort of thing... and tell them to fuck off if they think you're lazy. or just show them how much you've written.
tgit.
ps: send me your book. i have ten dollars.. is that enough to buy it? i could do twenty but you'd have to print it, bind it and make a cover...
