In case you all are missing it, John Scalzi is showing the cards on the writing life, specifically about money. He also has several follow-ups, some hidden in various and sundry kinds of articles. Of course, because it’s John, others are commenting with their own experiences and conspiracy theories (cribbed from John). And then another post where he describes his income in more depth.
Expect more people chiming in. Tobias can’t be far behind.
End result from distilling it all, don’t quit the day job. Todd, you should be alright. It was a night job after all. :) I also think you’re hitting the mark on John’s other points in his first post.
Well, that’s enough hyper linking for one day.

I think Number 3 is my favorite:
"3. Marry (or otherwise shack up with) someone sensible with money, who has a real job."
Unfortunately, I think my wife would be really mad if I shacked up with another woman. And asking would be just about as bad as doing...

Todd, I think that's just good advice period. My wife straightened me out early on. Money used to burn a hole in my pocket. No more.
Shawn, well, it's never hurts to ask. The answer, however, could be very painful. :)
