Thanks!
Am apparently very weakly trying to retire--don't think I ever will, totally. Most writers don't.
Did drop half my magazine work a couple years ago, because it started to become a PITA and had made some OK investments that paid as well. Had enough steady work with three magazines to more than get by.
But in the past three months have had four other magazines I haven't written for in a couple years (and sometimes much longer) ask me to do something, for more than they'd ever paid before. Didn't have the will to resist....
