If I had made writing my day job (which is something I wanted few years ago), I'd be forced to be commercial and write about what people really want to read or the way people like to read. These days I started to make my living connected to writing but not directly from writing. I now make my living from digital books consulting and services and still work as a software consultant. -- Ori Idan
