These days I read in a publication that someone said that he would like to be like you, @tarazkp, who "lives" from writing. At that moment I wanted to write to that person and tell them that you have a job and that you are far from living from your writing. And that to be like you, I would first have to invest not only the time you invest in writing but also the money you have invested in your work. For some people, you can have everything they aspire to. You can be, within the HIVE community, for example, one of the most "successful and recognized" people. But if you, perhaps, compare yourself to other people, you see that you still have many things to achieve success. What I have been clear about for some time is that as far as we have, we aspire to more. That final sentence is the most important and real one. Nice Sunday

Ha, I don't think anyone wants to be like me, they might want my stake though :) Living from writing would be nice - but I don't think it will be possible in this country for a long time.
There is a funny disconnect for Hive - where people think stake here means stake in the real world - I wish. The other thing that people often discount is the experience that it might take to get to this point. There is more to it than writing, there is all the background that has led to these words too. I think there is a reason that those with some experience tend to do okay here - while the inexperienced struggle.
