I work in two organic gardens. I get paid $10 per hour. It's hard work. I can't say that I really like this kind of work very much.
If I was a successful writer, I would not be doing this hard labor.
If I was a successful writer, I would have a modest income from that work, from the sale of my books, and from my weekly column in a national publication.
I would do some gardening work, but only as a volunteer, only for my own pleasure and good health, not for money. Oh, that would be wonderful.
If I was a successful writer, I would have an office or study dedicated to writing -- with a desk and chair and good lamp, with an ample shelf of books, with a semi-easy chair for reading. A place to work. A place that was mine. And that would be wonderful too.
If I was a successful writer, I would be going to Los Angeles every month -- to have lunch with my editor, or to give a reading at some club or college.
It seems like no more than an idle day dream, and that I must toil in the garden and earn my living by the sweat of my brow all the days of my life. Such longing and lamentations!
