Sucking Stones

Mother often suggested that Marcia become a journalist, writing for the Guardian Woman's Page about stress at work, or children abuse.
Marcia went into the front room. Mother followed her, saying 'You'd make money. You could stay at home and write novels at the same time. It wouldn't be so bad if you were doing something that brought something in.'
Marcia had secretly written articles which she had sent to the Guardian, the Mail, Cosmopolitan and other women's magazines. They had been returned. She was an artist, not a journalist. If only mother would understand that they were different."
