Great Regulars: Being a counselor or therapist

is another one of those professions that diverts the flow from writing and dries you up. Any type of job that will leave your mind free at the end of the day is your best bet.

Perhaps the worst occupation is that of publicist, magazine writer, ad copy writer or journalist--any job that steals your creativity will ultimately waste the fire you should save for your best writing, though there are probably some rough-and-ready scriveners who are able to avoid this occupational hazard.
