I’m so jealous.

Secondly, writers write things other than novels.

Thirdly, you write, therefore you are a writer. Publishing isn’t writing. You’ve published enough obituaries to be a published writer if you need that form of self-identification. I, myself, have published an article on the Canada goose. Thank you very much.

Fourthly, your 40 fans, including myself, depend on your boring digital postings.
