This isn't called a "Playbook" for nothing. I just don't like the term "work." Don't think I'm a slouch. If you knew how many hours, days, weeks, months, and years I've put into my writing, my teaching, my, well, most everything I do, you'd wonder why I didn't just take the job at Trader Joe's long ago. But I can't.
I won't.
I'm a writer. For me, writing is play. It's no longer work. In fact, not much for me, at least what I create is "work" in...
