You are thinking: How does he go from this to this. I had children. Not one of my friends understands that Kids Cost Money. It's not their world. Their worlds are creativity, remorse, primary relationships, making film, photography shoots, lighting, set props, food for everyone, I had a job. A real job. Working for the fucking school district. I quit when I was making too much money to remain where I barely made enough to live on. I took on several jobs. Still, we were hungry. I wrote two books. Porn pays on acceptance. Not publication. There is a huge difference. This is how they seduce writers to get the one they want. -- tpb
