I decided recently that I spent way too much time trying to figure out how to aim stuff, market stuff, write what was popular. I've always been ahead of the curve. If I'd only written the proposed novels instead of looking for a sale on a partial, I could have a full time career right now, probably.
So -- my job is WRITER. Everything else is Jon's ball of wax.
