But I'd never give up writing. I'd just donate all my proceeds to charity when I got published. I probably wouldn't self publish. I'd use my resources to become the kind of writer that an agent/publisher would want to publish. (Not that I'm not trying to do that now, but with more $ I'd be able to do it faster. I'd also be able to travel to places like Sumatra, Uganda, Svalbard, Antartica, etc. where I want to set future stories.
