While I am more than just quite happy with what I earned in my time here, I'm not sure I agree that it amounts to the same as two full time jobs. It would have, if I had held it all till this moment, but that was never a genuine possibility for me. I think I earned a modest wage when factoring in the prices at the times of my earnings and withdrawals. That said, you are right that I have enjoyed cashing in on creativity more than any other job I have worked in my life. I feel that this is a job that pays me in more than a monetary sense. In fact, there are quite a few things that I am able to gain from blogging as a source of income.

There is definitely a problem with what gets rewarded. I said I was going to do what I could to help with this a long time ago, but soon after things improved for a short time and I felt it was no longer necessary. But this year I intend to do many things which I started but got distracted or demotivated from finishing, and the initiative I speak of is one of those things. So, hopefully in due time things will be little less shit when it comes to reward distribution.
