Quote by Orson Scott Card
But in the meantime I became accustomed to the writing life and it would be hard to change now - partly because of the salary cut if I went to my other love, teaching; and partly because I still have stories to tell, even though it isn't all that fun doing the work anymore.
Summary
This quote highlights the speaker's acceptance and attachment to the writing life, despite their current lack of enjoyment in the work. The remark suggests that the familiarity and routine of being a writer have become ingrained in their lifestyle. The decision to continue down this path is influenced by two factors: the financial implications of switching to their other passion, teaching, and the lingering desire to share stories, implying a sense of unfinished business or creative fulfillment. Despite the decreasing enjoyment, the individual seems resigned to persevere within their chosen profession.
