Today started out as a decent day – got to sleep in, kids at Jennifer’s. Then as I was getting out of the shower, Jennifer called and asked if I would run to get something for mom and dad (today is their anniversary). Unfortunately, the trip would take me 30 miles north, and the business closed in 30 minutes.
To say the least I was in a hurry. I raced out of the house and zipped up there. Luckily, I made it in time (don’t ask how fast I drove, I would hate to incriminate myself).
Then I took my time driving back. It’s amazing how much you can miss until you take the time to look around.
Picked up the kids and then we went to Kroger for a spot of shopping. We managed a few groceries before picking out valentine cards and making our way home.
All things considered, I didn’t do much but drive a lot. Still I have to say it was a great day.
I’m pretty curious about this concept. Writing has always been something I enjoyed since grade school, but I have never actually thought that it was a probable career.
While I admire writers, my understanding is that most scrape through life and a very few ‘hit it big’ and make enough money to write as their profession. At least this is what I have been told by those local reporters I know working for our newspapers.
As a child, I admired writers’ ability to craft a story or article in such a way as it was engaging and/or entertaining. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to be a policeman as a child, but even back then my thoughts would drift to writing from time to time.
Recently, I have started a general computer help column for the Register-News called ‘Ask A Geek‘, and have put myself out there by submitting to WorksWithU.com about Ubuntu Linux. I’m not expecting a lot, and doing both just to add to my life experience, but there is the nagging thought of ‘Can I make a living at this?’
My heart hopes so, but my brain is not letting me quit the 9-5, buy a pipe, and wear a robe all day. I suppose only time will tell.
