Well another emergency in that other thing, what  I must do to keep writing.  I must quit that day job.  It interferes with my karma and writing process.What do you do to keep the lights, gas and phone running? Did you choose your day job or was it imposed on you by economics? I know back  in the day when I chose my day job, I saw retirement before 60, not 80.  Remember that when you pick up a pen or type on a computer will your writing sustain you into retirement.
I mean will a 35 percent royalty check from Amazon or Random House pay the rent or property taxes at age 70?

Another  question  is writing a viable career past age 50?
