Thanks for the info, & thank god for Heroes. Kelly McCullough's answer is "I married well," and then he giggles. I kind of like that coming from a guy. I keep thinking of Graham Joyce's story about how he'd been working really hard at his full time job, realized he'd burned out and he hadn't done anything to further his writing which he believed was so important to him. So he sat down with his lawyer wife and said "I'm going to quit my day job." Instead of saying, yes dear, that will be fine, I make enough for both of us, she said "I hate my job too." So they both quit and found a shack on a Greek Island where they could live for cheap while he sold his first novel.
Ahhh, I can smell the sea breeze & I'm eating feta cheese and olives right now. Okay, imaginary ones. But I'm with you. I do all right writing with a full time job. I managed to edit 30K in one month on my WIP so it can be done and not worrying about $ much is nice. But I'm thinking a part time job with health benefits would be just the thing. And sometimes it seems like the writing process takes it's time in days, rather than hours, so having full time to devote to it is nice, but maybe doesn't speed things up as much as one might think. Good luck on your search! You'll knock em dead at the interview. Hard part is finding an interesting place that needs you.
