Hi ! The answers here are really interesting to read.
My "day job" is kind of complicated.
Until a year ago, I had been a newspaper reporter/copy editor for 30 years. Now I am living the dream in my parents' basement because my dad needs more care than my mom can provide (I told her that as a journalist, I make less than a nursing home costs. A LOT less). I do freelance writing and editing as well.
My passion project is probably the current Kickstarter project(campaign starts Aug. 4) I'm doing PR for, doing various writing and marketing tasks for a video game, Lords of Steel: AI Wars. It's something different from anything I've ever done; it's about video games, which is cool; and it gives me great creative opportunities.
