I love to read and I love to write. Well, sometimes I love to write. Like any other job, there are times when writing is like filling in actuarial tables.
Not to knock actuarial tables. They can be fun. But sometimes, they aren't.
Once, authors had to wear tweed, have leather patches on their elbows, and smoke a pipe.
Now they'll dance on the street with a pot for coins and a cardboard sign saying "Will Write for Food.'
I would write for food. But it has to be good food. I'm not writing for a Velveeta and Spam sandwich.

Based on that Steely Dan song that's been stuck in everybody's head since 1980.
