Re: Who the heck fancies writing as a career?
Sorry. Terry P as in Pratchett. It's a fan nickname.
I guess it depends on how you define writing as a career, because that encompasses so many varieties of writing. But I think most people 'on the street' as it were think of the big A-list novels, the Dick Francises and Dan Browns (and Pterrys *g*) of this world, and that doesn't come along like no. whatever buses, that's for sure.
