"If you won $100 million, would you still work?" Absolutely. I would work every day, as I do now, only I would get to exclusively work on my things. I would set up a publishing company and sign all the writer friends I have who are struggling to do the same thing.

Lately the sad is huge and the anger is huge and both are constant, so please take care of yourself. Exercise. Read more. Work on your art. Talk to someone. Check on your friends. Remember your meds. Sit in the car and listen to the whole song. Celebrate the little wins.
