[quote=Anonymous]I don't have to work, so I write books (published one and working on the 2nd now.) I do get a small income from that (fellowships, royalties, speaking gigs), but it wouldn't be enough to support a person. I worked for 10 years more than full time before I had kids at 32. Sometimes I wonder if it's a curse to not *have* to work, and that I would more impressive accomplishments and life satisfaction if I had that pressure. Sometimes I try to mentally trick into believing that I must work in order to produce. Nora Nephron has this great essay about when she thought she was getting a major inheritance and planning her life of luxury... She said not getting it (it was way smaller than she thought) prompted her to work hard and that she never would have been as prolific if she had that safety net. [/quote]
