- Jeff, you read *far far* too much into my posting. I lead a pretty low-
- key life. The amount of work I'd have to put into pitching and querying
- in order to make a living writing full time seems like a "hustle" to *me*.
- That is to say, it's much more work than I am willing to do in order to
- support myself (read: keep those checks coming in regularly).
-
- It has *nothing* to do with "evil money". In fact, I'd like more of it, but
- am not willing to put myself out with my writing in order to get it.
