I'm exactly where I want to be
...except, maybe, about ten years ago. I finally have what I think is a viable freelance career, where paying the rent will take a fraction of the hours a day it once did. Now for everything else. I had a crisis of confidence in the quality of my work this week, borne out of a painful aversion to working for other people, and proven too many times to count.
Unlike my infant daughter, I don't subscribe to Sartre's theory that Hell Is Other People, but I do think that working for other people is, at least under the conditions that I have been most of my life.
Of course I've always had several different irons in the fire, but the balance has only recently shifted to getting paid for writing what I choose. It's a nice feeling, and a scary one and, don't misunderstand, not jacuzzi-level income by any means.
If you'd like to continue in a Hulk vein, stare at the picture and click here for an audio snapshot of how I feel right now.
In other Incredible Hulk and Bionic Woman composer Joe Harnell died last month. That is too bad.
