For those of us who are doing what we love, the words 'you'll never work a day in your life' are a complete myth.
No, you'll work harder and longer than you've ever worked at anything before. You fret and you'll agonize over some of the smallest details and you'll never be quite satisfied with anything and always be looking to do better the next time around.
As an example, here's an animatic we did. Our main voice actor is a guy named Luke who is also a musician so we asked him to do a rendition of Auld Lang Syne. He sang and played every note.
I made more money last year as an author than I've ever made before in my life. It was the most bizarre experience I've ever had. I don't know if I'll do as well this year, only time will tell. But I'm fairly certain that I'll still do better than I did as an engineer.
The creative careers are strange, because you never know when, or if, you'll take off, then you never can be sure how long you'll be at the top. It's really a very strange trip.
You just have to embrace the unknown and step off of that cliff.
I'm honestly envious, you've made it. It took a brand of guts and will I don't have, though I hope to get there in my own way, some day. Keep on rockin' it. Do you use a different Steam these days?
It's the end result of about eight years of work building up to it and it's still something I need to keep up with so it doesn't lag, but I've managed to earn it and I'm pretty proud :)

Voice actors, you say? I can do some voice impressions (but I haven't done that in a while). :D
There's nothing like proving doubters wrong. Trust me, I've had to do that often as a kid. XD
