Actually Chrissy, other authors who’ve taken the test say that they don’t have low self esteem either. Perhaps it’s just me.

Haha, maybe I -can- become an author.
I Said yes to practically all of these.
Except for the low esteem one.
Do all authors actually have lower than average esteem?

Karen, I have now changed #14. I didn’t mean it to read that writers don’t like being with people, just that they don’t mind being alone inside their heads for most of the day. ‘Determination’ should be added to this list. A definite plus especially while on that long hard journey to being published. (:

LOL That’s a funny list, filled with truth I would argue with #14 and #16, however… I think it’s my optimistic nature that has helped me to have the determination to keep at it and the self-belief that I have something to offer. I’m also really a people person, although I don’t mind spending time by myself. I think in writing, like everything else in life, it’s a case of, “To thine own self, be true”.
