I trust she meant 'in-house writer.'

Today has been a designated Writing Day, which so far has netted me two finished stories and various additions to WIP, as well as the following conversation:

Stef: What are you working on?
Me: "Punishment."
Stef: Ooo, yay!
Me, laughing: That's what I like about you. Whatever I'm writing, you're always so supportive.
Stef: Well, I did kind of commission most of what you've been writing. It's like having my own -- er.
Me: No, please, do finish that sentence.
Stef, brightly: Tea?
