This one's from Lee Byrd…
On Twitter, a lot of people are answering a question using the hashtag #firstsevenjobs. You list the first seven jobs you had. What would yours say?
This is pretty simple: Writer, writer, writer, writer, writer, writer and writer — in that order. Later on, I made a few bucks as an artist, an editor, a director, a producer and even a reluctant performer but I considered all of those as extensions of my writing position — like, I've been a writer-artist and a writer-editor and a writer-producer. If I leave aside income from investments or things like that but include times I've taught writing, I'd guess over 95% of my lifetime income has been from writing. I'm really, really inept at anything else…and envious of folks like my pal Ken Levine who have actual other professions.
