You...Ally, I'd definitely keep it a secret at work. You just never know how people might react, and it's better to be safe than sorry. That's my policy, at any rate. :)Keira Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847603963119665510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-71973959650017111492008-08-25T17:15:00.000-04:002008-08-25T17:15:00.000-04:00Oh no, not you, Ally.

You'd neeevver do that. ;)<BR/><BR/>My family's not crazy and critical like the condemning religious fanatics on TV and in the movies, but they definitely have hung on to some of the more old-fashioned beliefs that are so common here in the Bible Belt.<BR/><BR/>It's not just restricted to the church folks either, so I don't think it'd be fair to blame religion. Things just change slowly around here. I'm lucky though...I work for a gay-friendly business, so most of my co-workers are cool about my entertainment choices. :)JenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838413937781714488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-89311082086125283912008-08-25T16:56:00.000-04:002008-08-25T16:56:00.000-04:00K.A., that's cool about your job :) My boss and th...K.A., that's cool about your job :) My boss and the administration might be fine with it, I just can't afford to take the chance that they're not O_O<BR/>Not so cool about your friends :-( It's sad that people would start shutting you out because of what you write.<BR/><BR/>Jen, LOL! Molesting your books, oh my. I would never do such a thing!<BR/>**waits for hysterical laughter to die down**<BR/>I hear ya on the family.

They enjoy teasing me about it. My very conservative Southern evangelical family would be terribly disappointed in me if they knew I read about sex, particularly gay sex. So I keep that secret locked safely away, along with my porn and sex toys. ;)JenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838413937781714488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-25367275457118182252008-08-24T22:12:00.000-04:002008-08-24T22:12:00.000-04:00That was an interesting read.

Oddly, I would think my job would have more trouble with it (teaching in a private school), but I don't tell the kids what I write and the adminstration is fine with it. <BR/><BR/>Yet some friends have grown more distant the more I keep writing and selling.K.A.
