Richard Morgan is a freelance writer who, by his own admission, whiles away time "watching television, napping, noshing, strolling around, seeing matinees, playing The Sims, having sex and getting intoxicated."
He also once had to choose between getting a tie or getting a haircut for an upcoming interview. Another time, he lived off of nauseating mix of hot water, crushed multivitamins, and herbs.
The lesson? If you want a steady paycheck, become an electrician or a cop or an actuary, not a freelance writer. And if you do become a writer, you had better work at it, or else resign yourself to daily diet of vitamin soup.
