Your no 5 had not occurred to me till I became a fiction writer. The keenest fans seem to be the keenest lenders, telling me of their long waiting lists for my novel. And I was horrified to
learn of a book club who buy one copy only and pass it from hand to hand.

As a hermit – I wouldnt know what to do if I was a famous rockstar-like celebrity with millions of adoring fans…ok, but maybe a COUPLE of adoring fans would be nice…and I wouldnt turn down the opp to ‘hang out’ with a partially clothed Captain America and Green Lantern….Other than that – yes, anonymity is my fave thing on your list. My longsuffering husband WISHES that JK Rowling aura would descend upon me and eliminate the POVERTY feature of being a writer. ( hes got his dream car all picked out for when i hit the big time. Dnt hold yr breath darling)

Enjoying your writing.
