I think previous commenters are saying Very Smart Things. I especially like Cendri's suggestion of doing game scenarios/packs. I think you'd be super good at that, remembering our e-mails about Changeling.
When I was little I said I wanted to be a professional writer. Now, I say I want to be a writer. I don't much care if I get paid for it (hahahaha 125K words of Every Light I am so totally looking at you). I can't stop writing, but it doesn't have to earn money to have value.
sister_coyote said something a while back - I don't remember where - about how she didn't want to be a fiction writer for a living, because she never wanted the pressure of "must pay rent and food" to overwhelm her pleasure in writing. I feel much the same way. This isn't to say I'll never pursue publishing - I almost certainly will try at least a few times - but it IS to say that I don't want it to be my career (unless of course I win the lottery and "career" becomes "that thing I do so that my life has structure and I do not go completely crazy.")
