Today you’re Amber Bronte, the Bronte sister no one knows about because you’re still temping until you can get your Life Coach business off the ground.
“That’s so great!” your three sisters say to you when you tell them you now have four steady clients and your friend says he can build you a website for free. You don’t add that you think he might want you to sleep with him, and you don’t add that you might go ahead and do that if it means free website by summer.
“You have such persistence!” your sister says.
“Seriously you never give up, no matter how discouraging things are,” your other sister says.
The backhanded digs have begun. Time to throw the focus away from you.
“How are your book tours?” you ask.
They spend the next hour complaining about lackluster promotion from publishers, poorly appointed author accommodations provided by far-flung bookstores, and fans who want too much from them at book signings.
“Oh, Amber, I based a character on you in my new book,” Charlotte says.
Oh dear God.
Happy You’re A Bronte Sister Day!
