(Cue Jeopardy music) Answer: What is a writer. Thanks to that pesky inner voice I've embodied all 6 depictions at some point. Often on the same day. Happy Friday, y'all❤️
6 photos. 1st: a man at his desk laptop open, thinking & caption says "what my friends think I do". 2nd: A hobo lounging on some steps & caption says "what my mom thinks I do". 3rd: A woman and a man dressed fancy, drinks and exaggerated smoke in hand society lady like, & caption says "what society thinks I do". 4th: A photo of JK Rowling holding an Harry Potter book & caption says "What editors expect me to  do". 5th: A man sitting, thinking, with an open book and a quill in his hand & caption says "what I think I do". 6th: A frazzled man lost in thought playing with a slinky at his desk & caption says "What I really do"

Is this the cutest mushroom 🍄 you've ever seen or what? As soon as I spotted it I fell into a Disney portal where everything turned cutesy and doll like, nostalgic music and all.
