From [Streams of Consciousness – fun stuff emanating from my brain](http://streamsofconsciousness.blogspot.com/?ref=dashhouse.com):

> There’s a difference between writing for a living and writing for a life. If you write for a living, you make enormous compromises, and you might not even be able to uncompromise yourself. If you write for life, you’ll work hard; you’ll do what’s honest, not what pays.
