These are what others had to say: #TenThingsNotToSayToAWriter “It must be nice making money at a hobby.” — Melodie Ramone (@Melodie_Ramone) “I’m sure writing it won’t take longer than 30 minutes.”#TenThingsNotToSayToAWriter — Mina V. Esguerra (@minavesguerra)  Amish Tripathi ‏@authoramish  Are you a writer? I hope your spouse earns well. #TenThingsNotToSayToAWriter sarahdessen ‏@sarahdessen  Told a teen I write YA. She hadn’t heard of me. Said, “It would have been so cool if you were Suzanne Collins!” #TenThingsNotToSayToAWriter GAIL SIMONE ‏@GailSimone  “You’re pretty good. You should try writing something serious.” #TenThingsNotToSayToAWriter Lily Bailey ‏@LilyBaileyUK  What’s your backup career plan? I hear your industry is dying…
