Taking the advice of a good number of people I didn't quit my day job. Or rather I didn't quit the several subsidiary methods I use to supplement my income in the winter when I am not busy doing science type stuff full time. This includes writing commissions, doing small editing jobs, and working for the county.
For one glorious week however I am up at a family cabin under the beautiful but dangerous Mt. Rainier. Seriously it has a 1/4000 chance of blowing sky high any given day, and thanks to its location and the piles and piles of glacial ice on top is "probably the most dangerous volcano on the continent" according to the US Geological Society.
While that does put it all in a lovely ash covered perspective it does not change the fact that most of my writing assignments follow me wherever I go. Doomsday lahar scenarios or not. (Seriously why has no one in Hollywood thought to do a movie about Seattle getting flattened by Mt. Rainier?) So hi-ho hi-ho tis off to write I go!
