Tuan asked Travis McBee:

Have you ever thought about becoming a corporate drone for about 2/3 years to get a full salary or to save up till you are financially able to devote a significant amount of time to write and live in convenience? Instead of just about getting by, I know it's a pretty clichéd consensus for the struggling starving artist to live in a shabby apartment while he or she produces their work, what would you rather do?

Travis McBee I actually recently got a part time job, but it was much more because of needing human interaction than the money. I naturally lead a frugal lifestyle--shopping is a chore, not a hobby--so I've never needed or really even craved a higher income.
