This Made My Day
This evening, we had a wonderful visit with family. My nineteen-year-old niece prefaced a story she wanted to tell me with the line, "I don't want to blowup your ego or anything, but ..." She's taking a creative writing class in college and is working on an assignment, creating a short story. She mentioned to her professor that her uncle writes short stories, and he apparently asked my name. She told him and then said that I also write under the pen name Edward A. Grainger, to which he immediately replied, "He writes westerns." Well, I managed to keep my ego in check but I'm certainly flattered!

How flattering! I had a good day too! My high school history teacher drove across Houston today to make it to my B&N signing. :)
That's very cool, Alyssa. Btw your book is on my TBR list.
Excellent!
Gotta be great to see/hear how well known you're starting to become with your writing.
Very small scale, G. But it did bring a smile to my face. And I didn't ask if this professor liked my stories. :)
That's awesome, David.
You shouldn't be too constrained by your ego, let it go!
Very cool. I think you could let your ego ride the range with a little freedom for a bit after that. Then put him back in the barn and make him get back to work! :)
Chad, I thought so. (Once again, small scale fame.)
Ok, Dave. I'm letting it go... for a sec.
Charles, Ha! I like that plan, sir. Will do.
To be known as a writer...and to be known as the writer of westerns...I'm considering the orders of magnitude in the difference.
should have asked for your autograph, though! doh!
:)
That is just terrific, David. Nothing better than having your family made aware by someone outside it that you are indeed a writer.
Now you got me thinking, Ron. :)
Far from there, Nigel. Lol.
Patti, That is very true, isn't it?
Aw, thanks David! I hope you like this one... ;)
Awesome! The legend of Grainger lives on!
It's the coolest/weirdest feeling in the world. Congrats, David!
That's very cool, David. Don't keep it too far in check though, everybody needs a little ego boost once in awhile.
Ben, Funny that I just finished a Cash & Miles story I'm calling "Legend."
Thanks, Keith. And I'm sure that's where the fame ends.
I danced a small jig, John. :)
Alyssa, I'm sure I will, amiga.
It's great to be known. Congrats David
Thanks, Thomas.
