Robinson Jeffers

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED...
I think it was Robinson Jeffers who said that you can't be a part time writer. You either are a writer and you suffer the consequences, or you are a fake and a phony and you should kindly fuck off. Well that dissuaded me from considering writing as a career as I already have a career and kids and mortgages and other sundry payment responsibilities...but you can only push a person so far and I've reached my qbert square edge and I need to jump off even if that snake is laying in wait.

Challenge indeed and in deed - I do what I aim and I aim where I please

Step 1 - I just turned off the writing support tools built into this browser. I've got to be good enough on my own.

Step 2 - My life is not mine own, at least not morally - I have tied myself and grown into another and they have a vested interest in our mutual safety if not success. She has to accept this adventure, and while the strongest person I know - isn't one to pick a fight for no good reason. I'lll need to convince her the reason is my very bleeding soul in form of ulcer and deep desire hidden as lumbar pain. To earn this reward I will need to ensure her that we will not be cold or hungry or left to the kindness of others or the fat of the land. Luckily, we just had this  conversation on the matching barkoloungers where we both will likely die. She is not only smart but also pragmatic and says 5 years salary in an account would be enough shield for her comfort in my setting down the false crown I wear today to keep the lights turned on.

Step 3 - Cash in.
