You really need to love this to do it. As Victor said… the pay per hour? You don’t want to think about it.

When I started, it was for fun. I still didn’t take it seriously after my first couple of sales. After an another set of sales, I shifted focus and made it a job. Now it is really getting serious while I prepare to unleash my debut novella thus fall.

Yes, wow. Thanks for inspiring me to keep on keeping on. My muses only seems to show up early mornings before the day job. If I miss that opportunity, the muses usually fly. I, too, am working to make my second job, my first job. It’s tough, but I believe it’ll be worth it.

But it’s a fun sweatshop… I’m not making shoes.

I just made the mistake of figuring out what my “second job” pays per hour. I apparently run a sweatshop. Good thing the only employee lives the work.
