Guess who?
BTW, this is the correct mentality/motivation to have as an aspiring writer.

That would give me even more ambition to write since money is no longer a factor. I would not have to worry about going broke or my book not being able to support me. I could write freely. I could write exactly what I want. I could get it published and damn what anyone has to say about it. I wish I could hit the lottery so I could write more.

that's retarded. you should you hate doing work because you want to write, not wanting to write because you hate doing work.

Most writers write because they like it, just like most musicians perform because they like it. Mick Jagger wouldn't have had to work since 1975 if he didn't want to. And stephen king could have stopped at "the Shining"

DeLillo basically claimed the equivalent of this. He had a full-time job when he was younger -- he just hated working so much, he quit. To make money, he wrote fiction.

Successful writers being lazy, sheltered fucks seems to be a common trend. Why aren't you published yet, /lit/?
