Do you know quickly I'd give up my plans for grad school and everything if I thought I could live off my writing? Growing up being a professional writer was like my dark secret growing up - the one I didn't think I could ever accomplish.
I only think of it because more and more I'm seeing people who are starting their own small publishing things. I'd love to do something like that, but I don't know that I have the accument to do it. That and I'm not certain my writing is quite that caliber - I think it could be, someday. But right not it's not, and I'd feel really bad just suddenly charging people to read my stuff (though if in some alternate universe I did do it, my lj buddies would be exempt b/c more than anyone you've encourage me in my writing).
I only thought of it b/c I'm moving my website, and converting each of my stories to an lj. As much as I like the academic world and all, I'd kill to just live on my writing. Ah, to dream.
