I've dumped so much money and time into this that I feel like I need to give it a chance before I walk away. <br /><br />Still, the ghost of my highschool guidance counselor urging me, "If you're willing to do it for free, find a way to make a living off it" is always ringing in my ear when I submit an article.Kirk Battlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612840105075834275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-29927345434186306052009-09-29T10:49:27.120-07:002009-09-29T10:49:27.120-07:00Most days I prefer a tasty Philly cheese steak to ...Most days I prefer a tasty Philly cheese steak to filet mignon, and since I'm an American I'll go ahead and wear that as a badge of honor. ;-)<br /><br />My roommate in college was a theater major like me, but he decided to attend law school, and he worked in a law firm for about 10 years. During that time he took roles on the side, mostly small character parts in community theater productions with actors nowhere near his skill level. Gradually, he started working at some of the better professional companies in the area, and his stature as an actor continued to grow.<br /><br />During all this time he worked as an attorney, but a couple of years ago he finally cut the cord, turned professional, and is living happier than he's ever been. He makes less money (way less, probably), but he found the right time in his life to make a transition to what he loves. I don't think he ever really planned it, but that's how it happened. Most things seem to happen that way. Who knows what L.B. Jeffries will do...but even if you did know, it probably doesn't mean much in the long run anyway. :-)Michael Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437378247420941499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-409578353423381032009-09-28T10:56:38.311-07:002009-09-28T10:56:38.311-07:00Definitely will do, though honestly it'll most...Definitely will do, though honestly it'll mostly be staying as video game jabber for a long while yet.Kirk Battlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612840105075834275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-6764440239592709172009-09-26T22:45:24.425-07:002009-09-26T22:45:24.425-07:00I hope you continue to maintain this blog as a kin...I hope you continue to maintain this blog as a kind of overall-wrapper for everything you write.<br /><br />I follow authors rather than any particular blog, so it's valuable to have somewhere that points to all your stuff all over the place.Ben Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04146790136740709664noreply@blogger.com
