Grim Vision of Things to Come

It took most of the writers I know who are successful as many years as you are old to get the opportunity to share their work with the public. It's a bit early to throw in the towel, IMO. 

Oh I'm not throwing in the towell...not by a long shot.  I don't think I'm capable of that.

Of course if I keep spelling words like 'towel' wrong, the road to success may have extra bumps in it.

But I can relate to your "I can't imagine spending my life doing some job I don't care about just to earn a living" attitude.

It's called "work" because people pay you for it, if it were fun enough to do it anyway this wouldn;t happen.  It would be lovely to be published and even lovelier to earn a living from writing, but it does not seem overly plausible; meanwhile, so long as it's indoor work with no heavy lifting, internet access, and I get to go home at 5 every evening, I'll pretty much do any job people will give me.

Thanks for teaching me a new word. Work. I should really try and memorize it.

I did not intend this to come across as harshly as it seems to have read to you, and you have my apologies.

Or, as I heard it said on some radio station, "Let's face it - work sucks. If work were fun, they'd charge admission."
