Me, I'm a wanna be writer because my time is so short. I'm a full time painter. For a long time said no to nothing, painted shit and more stuff repeated the same shit because I was tired of living in houses with no heat and getting frostbite on my toes. And I made lots of fast cash. Now my painting skill is, I can say with confidence, really fucking awesome. My writing sucks and my cooking is getting better, I worked at McD's twice because I liked painting better. So you are one lucky guy to have an office a real workspace where you can close the door. I'd go for it, full time. No questions asked.angie Brooksby-Arcangiolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000615140577512304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-87136436787706102172012-11-15T08:49:14.881-05:002012-11-15T08:49:14.881-05:00Good thoughtful post, Jay.

I would argue that there is no such thing as a "bad" paid writing job when compared to the alternative: no work, or work other than writing. I had to write a lot of bad copy to get noticed enough to write on interesting accounts. The same holds for any job at all. You take what you can get, "bad" or "good" and then you move up. The publisher will always find a writer to do the work, it's not like you can prevent them from publishing by turning the job down.Anonymous-9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09018422038963109199noreply@blogger.com
