RE: I'm taking my marbles and going home...

If you later change your mind about writing, you'll probably find the job market in Alabama a lot worse than Houston.  A few months ago, I saw a similar "changing careers" message from a frustrated writer in the Birmingham, AL, area on another list.  His description of things there was pretty bleak.  I wouldn't make such a move without first making sure I wasn't likely to change back.

If you are willing to move, as you seem to be, instead of abandoning the
field, look at where hiring continues.
