I'd like to expand my writing forays farther with the connections I have, but for now the landscaping pays too well to give it up. Plus the life experience and real world work experience really helps the writing. It's one of my pet peeves that writers who have always lived a lofty lifestyle try to write the everyday man having never truly experienced it and then get overtly arrogant and start claiming superiority over the 'plebians.' Makes me want to just smack them upside the head.

Yeah, that sentence got away from me, but I also tend to prefer an informal style in everything but real written work.

Suddenly every post I've seen from you makes total sense, lol. At first I just thought you liked to talk a lot because there was never anything concise in your responses (excluding debates which tend to be long from anyone).

Keep pursuing the writing gig, man. It's definitely a trade full of paying your dues. When you're passionate about it though, as you appear to be, sometimes the lower pay is worth being able to do what you love in hopes that it will pay off in the long run. "Making a living" cancels itself out when your misery at making the extra buck sucks the life out of you.
