The best work in literature is always done by those who do not depend on it for their daily bread and the highest form of literature, Poetry, brings no wealth to the singer. — Oscar Wilde Irish Poet, Novelist and Playwright 1854 -1900 Commentary Have you ever had the desire to write full time or paint full time? If you answered, no, then you are probably not serious about your art. Most beginning writers dream of being able to write full time. It was my dream for over 30 years — something I longed to be able to do. Only now that I have passed the sixty mark is it no longer a serious desire. I spent a lifetime working to provide for my family and myself. I have also spent a lifetime writing. And one can do both if one is committed. Even if I suddenly had the financial means, I dont think now I would write full time. And soon, in a few years when I am retired, I dont believe I will write full time. Oh, I will continue to write — probably until my dying breath and beyond if there is pen and paper in heaven.
