I've got a upper middle management job that pays out the ass, let's me work from home whenever i want ( pretty much everyday) and requires me to fly to places like Miami and L.A every other month...it also has some...other perks...
...but i am starting to fukking hate it...because all i want to do is write science fiction...and i do some writing for a guy who pays me quite a bit...but it is straight pay for service money...and if the shows don't get picked up then there will be no money at all...
I thought I could do both but I am getting to the point where I just can't stand my job...and am starting to rationalize tossing this good gig down the drain...just for the chance of writing a book that maybe gets published and sells 5,000 copies...
I hang around a bunch of writers and i let them read the story I am working on so far and they are all like man this is really good you could get published
...then when i start talking about what i do for a living and how much i make they be like "don't be stupid do this writing shyt as a hobby you will never make anywhere near that as a writer unless you write a best seller or some shyt"
