Wanted: Job Coach
I've known for years that 9-5 office jobs drive me batty. The only exception was the job that involved some hard publishing deadlines with interesting (at least non-technical) content, that actually ran 6-6 most days. I was so stressed and busy and beating the deadlines that I forgot that I hate office jobs

I may be able to help you. My name is Larry LaMotte and I also live in Seattle. I have helped several people set up different kinds of businesses and if I can't help directly, I bet I know who can.
You can contact me on the UO Duck Pond where I started the "Buzz on Biz" group and the "Duck Biz Lunch - Seattle". Read some of the Buzz on Biz posts to get an idea of my history (just please don't read it with a literary critic's eye - you're the writer, I'm not).
I would be happy to speak with you and give you a good start into the world of the "unemployable"!
My best to you,
Larry LaMotte '87

The other does commercials and the like (I think.) I've contacted him with the description of what you want (without your name/e-mail) and will see if it's something he can help with. If so, I'll hook you up. It's in the back of my brain he does the coaching stuff, too, but I'm not sure about that.
Good luck!
(Oh, and did you want any of this to grow into a "career arc" ending up teaching others or leading others through this kind of work, or mostly just increase volume/prestige of the same kinds of things?)

Having heard you on the radio, I agree: you would be great at voice-over work.
You may not want to hear this, but it may be more feasible to get into freelancing/self-employedness gradually. At least, I haven't been able to make full-time money at it, not yet. That, or bust your butt at a desk job long enough to build up a cushion, then take the out-of-office leap.
Good luck...and remember Craiglist has an entire section devoted to writing/editing jobs.
