I write during the winter months; when I'm laid off from paving. During the summer, I think about what I have written, analyze my characters and my story, and visualize where it will go when I can write again. Its what keeps me going when sweat is pouring out of me in the hot sun standing on 400 degree blacktop wondering why the hell I do this for a living.
Whats your day job? What are your dreams?
@DanIsWriting I feel grateful that writing is my day job, but it doesn't pay well. Being on 100% disability, home is the only place I can work, so I'm making it count. I also do narration/recording/advertisement work and being super competitive, it also doesn't pay well, but it does pay enough. I get a burst in summer when I sell plants I grow in my greenhouse over winter.
@LindaTeppler I understand. I've been broke my whole life, slave to the grind, felt like I had no way out. This job is the best paying one I've ever had and now I want out because its destroying my body and health, and it eats up all my time.
I dont know if I will ever make a living with my writing, but I want to have a mushroom farm. Thats the dream right now.
@DanIsWriting Yep. The dream for me is a hydroponic trailer I can sell to the neighborhood from.
