Accounting job looming, scrambling for my creative life, what can I do? I want t!
Question: the great thing about a job is that you can just walk away whenever you feel like it. I think the poetry compendium is a great idea, just don't turn it into Mrs Beetons boiled cabbage instruction manual.
Yes you are. Crazy that is.

Take the job and still write. That is what I do. Although it is harder with a job. You really need to talk it over with your wife and the TWO of you come to a decision TOGETHER
5years ago i was offered a place in a university to study Architecture & Environmental Designs. I might have been an architect right now, working in a posh firm. Yet, at such a tender age, i was stubborn (and silly maybe) enough to go to the Dean's Office to change my course into English Literature. They really think that i was out of my mind. They asked me what on earth are you thinking? And i said, "My passion lies in Literature". So that makes me now a crappy poet who is procrastinating my first postgraduate literary assignment entitled "Feminist Theory" that i have to hand in tomorrow by hanging out/lollygagging in Yahoo Answers, answering your questions! haha =)
But for you my dear friend...just write in your spare time. That's all you can do. If you still wanna keep the job. ;-)
But you do, don't you? And you are looming great!
at it.
The writing creatively bit, anything else keep those details for my imagination.
If money is not a factor or desire, then write.
If you will recall, kind sir, many of us here have been urging you to write and publish a book of your poetry. If you want to write, then write. The only one stopping you is yourself.
write dammit. get a job in a publishing house or a newspaper or magazine. anything closer to what you want to do.
my feeling has always been, if you want to be an actor, get a job sweeping the floor in an off or an broadway theatre. get closer to you goal.
