Hats? Which ones do you wear?

I love hats and I just bought a new one this weekend (a black fedora with a jaunty little bow) and the moment I looked at it, I thought, "that's a writer's hat".

That got me to thinking about what kinds of hats I wear, literally and figuratively.

On the literal side: I have running hats (caps, visors, reflective) Fall hats (leather and tweed) Winter hats (warm and snowproof) and sun hats (the bigger the better!).

On the figurative side: I wear my family/friend relationship hats and my Chief Bottle Washer/Dog Walker/Food Preparer hats.

I also sometimes wear one of these:



And then there are the WRITER'S HATS: The Creative Thinking Cap, The Editor's Beret (because my editor might very well be a haughty French artist) and my Marketing Matador Hat (because I'm in the fight to get readers to focus on the bullseye of my books.

Tell me Killer Friends: What kinds of hats do you wear? Which do you like best? And which do you wish you could give away?

This month I'm wearing a combat helmet. I desperately want to throw it away and don a very large creative sun hat.

I'd be happy to give my chef's hat away. The older I get, the less patience I have for cooking. Maybe I could trade it in for a new thinking cap - mine seems to be on the fritz.
