However, I'm still going to have significantly less each month for that savings account than before, which means if I want to do "extra" things like go to conventions or do any kind of traveling, I'm going to have to look elsewhere for the money. I know I can't rely on writing as a steady income, and expect "x" amount of money to come to me every month or even year. Yet at the same time, I think it's possible for me to expect to make an annual sale or two, if I start taking writing a bit more seriously. By seriously, I mean more along the lines of a true second job, not just something I cram into the spare hours of my day. It also means setting goals that go beyond "getting short work into market x", and gearing up to write novels on a regular basis. A better apartment and a real office should help - yes, I can write at my kitchen table or in my living room, but for me it's not the same as having a space that's dedicated solely to writing. Even when all my rooms are my own, I still need a room of my own - you know what I mean? Ok, wait, that made no sense at all. Time for more coffee.

The State of the Livia, Hurricane Style

The State of the Centicorn
