Well, I gotta say, I ponder this sometimes. Unless it will be through death, illness or dementia, I do not foresee "retirement" in my future. Nor do I imagine anyone is going to fire me.
I suppose there are artists who actually choose their art. I have met multi-talented...

Sometimes, insomnia can be a creative inspiration.
As I lay in bed, watching the shadows flicker on the ceilings and walls as I tried desperately to fall asleep about 2:00 AM, s tory idea came to me - a Lovecraft Cthulhu Mythos short story.
Now, I admit I've been reading the Lovecraft E-Zine, and...
