The Iconoclast

Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.

Well, it's been awhile since my last entry. I've had various things going on IRL (like looking for a job, my foot getting run over, going to A-Kon, etc.), but I honestly haven't felt like writing in awhile. I've been focusing solely on translating (the field I'm going to work in). It's hard to write when you're worried about making ends meet.

I think I will continue to write, even as a hobby. I've heard professional writers don't get paid that much anyway, which is sad because it's such fucking hard work. I once had a college professor tell me that if I wanted to be a writer soley for money then I should look for another career because writers don't get paid jack shit. I mean, she encouraged me to write, but she made it clear that writing was not very profitable (she was a published romance author, BTW).

I think I'll feel better once I get a job.
