Chekhov was a doctor. What other non-writing day jobs are great for writers?

Could being an infamous Cuban leader be one of them?

But if you happen to live in book-hating Turkey, that above option may not be feasible.

Or you could always go ahead and write that long-awaited sequel to Blade Runner.

Afterall, science fiction and other genre fiction tops many of the literary elite's favorites lists.

Though, you can never go wrong with copious amounts of Tolstoy and Nabokov.

Just take it from Henry Miller and "Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand."

Whatever you do, keep writing. You know how fast time flies.

How to foster writing talent? Providing writers with a tax break could be a good start.

Especially considering that people aren't buying books to read them any more.

Maybe more people should publish their dream journals. Henry Miller and Anais Nin certainly approve.

Then again, some nightmares are too real to ever be forgotten, at least to Brian Williams.

Perhaps if Lana del Ray had gone anonymous, things would have turned out better for her.

Or... or... or... or...

Or maybe people should stop trying to ban books and take a minute to actually read them.

If they did, maybe we wouldn't run the risk of another blackout.
