*nods* I write short stories...but I have never sold a one, and I never expect to. For me, it's a hobby. I have been told that I should write professionally--but not by anybody who was willing to offer me money! ;) All the for-pay writing I have done is Technical Writing and reports and the like.
I have enough professional authors and editors in my LJ Friends-List that, when I do write fiction, I clearly mark it as such. I make it very clear that nobody should feel obligated to read it. This goes double and triple for you pros: that's work! You aren't following my journal to work, you are following it because I am a personal friend and/or interesting enough to keep up with.
I wonder if Proctologists have this problem. There's a horrible joke in there, but I'll pass this time. ;)
