I think the fact that I have work to do is about the only thing keeping me from sliding into depression. My contract is done in about a week, there's nothing lined up beyond that, job market is frozen solid. If I couldn't still be writing, I think I'd sink.
Luckily, my income isn't the primary one. And I've got an article to get into peer review, and after that a dissertation to turn into a book contract. And the blog, which is also good for my mental health. It means I'm not writing alone, I'm writing with friends.
