I'm pretty decent at writing. I'm part of a writing group and I'm in the credits for a few books. Maybe I'll go into technical writing.
There are a lot of things that I can do and I have time to look, so I'm not going to panic. I don't need huge quantities of money, so I'm hoping to find something that isn't 40+ hours/week. I also don't want to commute more than 30 or so minutes each way to work.
Maybe you could work part time somewhere and quail farm the rest of the time!

Or do they pay you to retire or anything like that?

Hey, maybe you could find a tea shop to work at
