I'm a writer, and I love it. But I'd enjoy it even more if I didn't HAVE to do it for money. And before you get how people GET and tell me, "Hey, you don't HAVE to do anything." Uh... yeah. Yeah I do. If it's a choice between writing and bagging groceries? I'll write. If it's a choice between writing and flipping burgers, I'll write. As a college grad, if it's a choice between writing and sitting in a cubicle? I'LL SO WRITE.
Sadly, I'm not a kept woman. I have to make money at something, and I may as well make it doing something I love. Unfortunately, HAVING to do it removes a bit of the rose's bloom, but... c'est la vie.
