I think there is no real difference between the two. Knowledge workers, and creative workers do not really succeed overnight like the baker does. Rather, they gather and collect bits and pieces of knowledge all through their life, until one fine day they manage to synthesize and reap the fruits of their minds, all the while continuning to collect and bake and ferment. Still, their product has grown incrementally and gradually, unnoticed by humanity at large, but noticed by the schoolyard bully, since they wore those know-it-all glasses. Your brain is that bit of ever-developing yeast and it is up to you to make delicious pizza out of it.

I’m sure it’s relatively easy to get published…you just have to choose your publisher wisely, i.e., base your selection on your personal assessment of your quality. There’s no denying that there’s a lot sh*t floating around out there.

As for the shifting goal posts, surely you have by now noticed that making up…eh..designing something new comes more easily now than back when you started? It’s still piecework, this knowledge game.

I’m sure they do, I’m thinking about this in terms of money, I’m not worried about money or becoming a full time blogger. As for the getting published, I’m not really talking here about writing a book, merely that once written that activity CAN (not will, or is easy) bring unlimited reward with less input from the author, which plumbing can’t.

You seem to think it’s very easy to get published. It’s not.

Also, I think that 99.99% of plumbers earn more than 99.99% of bloggers.
