MIke... Man, you are a warrior! Proud of you... Forget the bus driving and keep on scribbling. Sadly, I can't figure out how to get a paycheck for the writing... The good news is it is a way yo achieve some level of immortality as everything here is enshrined by the Alphabet Boyz for All Time (or until the galaxy is removed by a supernova)...

Thanks Doc. I'm a long, long way off from giving up my day job. My previous writing success happened by luck. I scribbled something down and entered it into an international writing contest. First place paid $50K. I took second, got noticed by numerous editors, blah, blah, blah and the buildings came down like pancakes and so did my writing career. The End

Persevere!!! The contest was obviously rigged. Whenever that kind of big money is involved, it's got to be rigged.
