I very much agree, especially with how bad it is to gut something you truly enjoy doing from your life. That's one of the reasons I've been slow to mix writing with money. I did it with music, and it turned into something I hated (for a while, I love it again) I think if you can get away doing something you love, and make money while doing it, you've got something worth keeping.
And no worries, I like the way you think. Let it out, and I'll read it up!
