Jaysus, Matthew! I don't know ... a writer that would let earning a living get in the way of his craft. Why don't you follow the good example set by Mr O'Nolan (like I do!) and use the hours when you should otherwise be gainfully employed, working up your stories on your employer's time.

Unless of course you're self-employed in which case ... sure it's only an oul' roof. And food and clothes? Do you think they're really more necessary than keeping your public amused?
