Diane -

To further assist you in shattering stereotypes, I have long been affiliated
with a number of published fiction writers. It doesn't pay much (unless
you're -very- lucky, hence the "don't quit your day job" advice), so many of
us have also developed successful technical writing/editing careers. A
couple have gone into MarComm or Web design. One is working in the film
industry.

Creative people, finding creative ways to pay the bills as working
writers...

best,

L

For years, I said that creative writers (another sterotype) couldn't be good
technical writer, then I ran into a fantastic technical writer who was also
a creative writer. Sure taught me a lesson!

We have to be careful with sterotypes. They can be useful, but they can be
wrong too.
