That was my thought when I started writing, too. At this point, I'm assuming that I will simply not retire, as I have serious doubts writing will provide enough of an income in this anti-creator atmosphere to leave my day job.
As to my first failed career choice, I do have regrets and second thoughts. I regret that I tried to make a living as a commercial illustrator, and I wish I'd taken steps to move into a more sensible career path sooner. Most of my regrets come from being stupid, and in pursuing illustration as a career, I was being a moron.
