Good question! I have a natural tendency to take risks, but my husband, for instance, does not. When I left a miserable but stable job to strike out as a freelance with only one gig lined up, he was not too thrilled. Now that we have a mortgage (and I have a f-t job), risk becomes even less exciting, because it represents the possibility of financial ruin. I'd love to pick up and move to L.A. to pursue my screenwriting dreams, but that would be unfair to my husband (who is an awesome guy, BTW). Sometimes life circumstances, including love, cause you to scale back on your risk tolerance. So I plug away at screenwriting during my off-hours in northern California, pay my mortgage and enjoy our new home. I'd rather fail UNspectacularly at screenwriting than fail at love.
