In which we go "hmmmm..."

Stolen from various folks around the net...

In 2007, jesshartley resolves to...
Give up freelancing.
Go to dialogue every Sunday.
Give up kalamata olives.
Pay for my predators on time.
Cut down to ten conventions a day.
Get back in contact with some old words.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:



Interesting.

Lots of this rather spot on. I would love to do 10 conventions a day, but I'd settle for 10 a year. :) I do try to pay for my predators on time, and to go to dialogue at least every Sunday (every day, really, but especially on Sundays.) And I really should get back into contact with some old words; the sequel to my novel is taunting me to write it.

But as for the rest... Somehow I don't think I'm giving up something that I really truly enjoy so much.

I mean, there are downsides, and not everyone understands why I won't give it up...

It's strange, and sometimes hard to find, and not to everyone's taste, for certain.

But kalamata olives are very special to me.

Nice bait and switch....

Wait, so you're the one who buys so many predators? I knew it! Every time I try to order some they say they're out! Dang it!

What's the average starting salary for a freelance RPG writer/designer who works for an established company (like White Wolf or Wizards)?

I'm sick and tired of working in Tech Support, but I doubt I could feed my family as an RPG writer. What's your experience with that?
