So Jay, why aren't you a professional writer?

Interesting, eh? He's been asked that question here (in one form or
another) multiple times. Why hasn't some periodical knocked him on the
head and dragged him to a work processor?

Writing for a living can be struggle.
Most writers must constantly be on the watch for potential ideas and
carry a notebook to record such discoveries.
Jay is fortunate in that the events he records are happenstances which
directly involve him in some manner. It helps that his jobs as an
innkeeper allow stories to come to him.
