I love writing. I really do. The joy of hitting the publishing button still makes me giggle, and I look forward to doing it again a few more times this year.
That said I'd never want to give up my day job. I also love software development, and my fear is that if I wrote full time I'd burn out. I love that it can supplement my income, but that I don't have to rely on it. I get to tell fun stories and if I have a book flop it's no big deal.
Does anyone else feel this way? Or are you aspiring to write full time? For those that do write full time do you ever miss your previous career?
