The Blender

I talk a lot about my day job relative to my writing life. The two subjects are inextricably linked for me and, at this stage in my life, I have to do both. More than that, I choose to do both. I’m a better writer because I don’t have to worry about pesky things like a 401K and health insurance. And I’m a better day job employee because I have a creative outlet.

Would I prefer to write solely as my profession? You bet. Is this a viable choice right now? For me, no it’s not.

What it does mean...
