Thank you for this--I think I would be one of the person who couldn't do most works for hire and still feel good about my existence. (There is an exception, which I need to resume working on, except I wasn't given a fixed deadline and I'm attending their wedding this week, so we're all distracted.)
For me, right now, the self-respect/financial deadweight issue is manifesting as a rabid desire to learn-to-drive and return from NY and get a job, even though I'm not sure it'd offset the cost of childcare unless I could get a night or weekend part-time job. The writing would happen anyway (such as it does). It happens because, y'know, without being able to drive, there isn't much else I know how to do. I should've majored in accounting rather than the theoretical end of math. *wry grin*
Right. Back to working on those short stories that probably have me in the red...:-)
