Sure. If writing doesn't work out, I'm going to sit on the computer and websurf and play solitaire all day.
No, wait... hang on... I already do that...
No, wait... hang on... I already do that...
So if this writing thing doesn't work out I'm going to...
Win the lottery (obviously)
or
Become a painter/famous artist (Cause I'm pretty I sure I have some skills, but never really pursued that. I like painting stuff, though. And I think it'd be kinda cool to wear those berets and smocks. I mean, the whole getting dressed thing to go to work is so 2012.)
or
Move to a foreign country and become a reporter who blogs about the culture,life, etc. (Well, I'll figure that part out, but the whole moving to a new country thing kinda has a nice vibe to it.)
or
Maybe try my hand at professional pottery. (I hear there's fame and fortune in that field. It's the next big thing. Really.)
But only after I finish the next six books on my TBW (to be written) list. (After that my total number of titles will be 22.)
What about you? Have you given any thought to the whole 'if this writing thing doesn't work out' issue ?

Meg, that sounds really great. I believe in planning for the future and if you're already 'in training' now, you'll be a pro.
Well, "I'm going to just be a writer full-time" is my answer to "If this zookeeping thing doesn't work out..." The zookeeping thing didn't work out, so this is my Plan B. Better make it work or I'm screwed.
"I suppose I'd have to focus on developing my Force powers. Truth be told, I should do that anyway. I am getting a bit rusty. My Force Lightning can barely recharge a battery these days. And I STILL can't use Force Choke on someone more than thirty feet away. *sigh*"
OMG! Force powers!? Dang, I should have thought of that... I might add that to my list. Plus it might help tremendously if I pursue the professional pottery industry or move to a foreign country. Heck it might help with ALL future plans!. (Is there a workshop offered to actually hone those skills?)

I'm still not sure if I'm going to be able to stay full time in 2013. January is going better than the past few months, but still not great. I'm pretty sure I'm okay through March, so I'm just gonna write like crazy until then and hope one of those books saves my butt.
If not, I'm going to a get a job, but not a career-type job, just a whatever-type job that I won't feel guilty about quitting when I inevitably prevail.
