I have no idea if it would be so appealing if I had no choice in the matter. I do know that I only write when I'm alone and undisturbed, whereas I realise that some people can disappear into their own minds and be productive in the midst of family life. <br />As my Grandma used to say, 'It takes all sorts to make a world.' <br />Doesn't it just.

I agree with Fran that I would like the chance to try out being a full time writer, but as you said the income one makes from it is not much and I live alone so need to make sure all bills are paid by going out to a job. <br /><br />However, I did find when I was unemployed that being on my own sent me almost doolally (I did get much more writing done though!). I am an extravert and get depressed very quickly if I spend too much time alone so it probably just as well I don't work from home. I love public speaking. I come alive when speaking to a group of people. I think of myself as a speaker who writes rather than a writer who speaks. But I don't make much money at either!!
