I Hate What I Do

**Day 8 of "Journey to Publication"**

I hated being a corporate executive, so I got on my knees and told the Lord if it wasn't going to mess up some vast, eternal plan, I'd ever-so-much like to be relieved of this chore system ... but His will be done.

The following month, I was exhibiting in a trade show and a man came into my booth.

"Do you like what you do?" he asked.
"I hate what I do," I answered.
"Would you be interested in licensing your product to me?"
"What are you doing for dinner tonight?" I replied.

We went out to dinner and within a year, I licensed not only my chore system to him, but two other systems I had in my head but didn't have the capital or the desire to produce. He repackaged my chore system and put it on the market last December. The second product he licensed (that had previously been in my head) is called "I Did My Homework!" and it is my understanding it will be on the shelves by 2006--but don't quote me on that.

So, was I free now to return to my writing? Well ... not exactly. More on that tomorrow.
