I knew a woman who took a job in a porn shop while she worked on her book (a children’s book), and depression set in when she realized she hadn’t touched her manuscript in 2 years and her career was being a porn clerk.

She ended up becoming the manager of three stores.

Edit: This was back in the ‘90s, when people bought porn in stores.

Did she ever finish her manuscript?
