Would you write for a living if you could make enough to get by? I have seen growth in your writing in the short time I have been here. At least that's how it looks to me. Other than SteemIt, I have no idea what it would take to be a professional writer.
Since I have gotten payed to type words on SteemIt, can I call myself a professional writer? lol
As far as the blue collar, it rips me that people look down on the very people who are supporting and providing their lifestyle. I don't begrudge them any success they may have, but does that make them better? People with money, power or both, but lack humility are enigmas to me.
Would you like to own a restaurant? Would you like to manage one? Managing a restaurant sounds like a major headache to me.
