Regarding number 6. My husband works long hours at an office, and when he says "I have to work late this Friday night." I don't think anyone has ever been dumb enough to say, "Oh don't do that, come out and play instead!"
I hate the fact that just because writing is done at home, it's not seen in the same category as the day job.
the best answer to the question: "So when will you put it down and come play?"
-When it's DONE.
