Creative write on your own time, Cary
Cary, I love you, brutha, but man, sometimes you're full of shit. The LW is straddling a midlife crisis and instead of breaking off some sound, practical advice you go all poetic and self-referential on the poor slob. This is supposed to be about the LW, not about you expressing your inner Pynchon or Chabon and emoting all over their angst. So, please get to the fucking point, offer some decent common sense advice and save the polysyllabic navel gazing for your journal, K?
By the way, LW, I'm 42 and the lead singer for a blues band that I got into at 40. Best fucking thing I ever did. My wife loves it, we play gigs in L.A. and have a blast, and nobody laughs at us. You have a passion. Express it in any way you can. You don't have to quit your job. Put all your passion into what you do and people will respond. They might even respond so strongly that you can make a living.
