Your description of Rhode Island weather could just as well be Oregon weather. It was lovely and in the 80s day before yesterday, now in the 60s with a chilly humidity that I could live without.
Also, your description of being a freelance writer applies to all freelancers. The check is always late, regular gigs disappear completely and with no warning, and there are no guarantees of survival, let alone living at a standard anyone else would call "decent." Selling cool stuff to get by works for awhile, but eventually there is no cool stuff left. I'm working on formulating the shiny new Plan A, plus selling lots of books to Powell's and letting go of our last art piece at auction. I keep thinking that as far out as the tide is now, surely it will turn and come in equally strong, but in the meantime, as you say, gotta make the doughnuts.
