Or maybe I didn't know the difference. I became an accomplished amateur photographer and even made a few bucks at it simply because I loved it. I think I could do the same with writing. I was always so tied up in my career that I didn't have time to futz around for pennies. Maybe I'll give it another shot now that I'm not chasing the almighty buck. I've already tried my hand at painting and digital painting (I'm horrible), crochet and tatting, woodworking, and metal working. I'm even planning on trying procrastination, but I keep putting it off.
I was talking more along the lines of how did you get a magazine to pay you to put a story in their publication?
