making a living off of shareware?

I am very passionate about game programming and I can spend many hours a day working on game programming. I just figured out how to animate in DirectX and am on my way to making my first shareware game. What I''m wondering is if there''s a chance for me to make a living off of it. Basically, I don''t need to make a lot of money - just making what a minimum wage worker makes would be good enough for me. What is important to me is that I''m doing what I want and game programming is really what I want to do. Does anyone have suggestions for what sites I can send my games to or how I could go about marketing them?

L.O.R.D. was a great game, I even made a clone of it in QBasic (obviously not multiplayer, but I later made it multiplayer in a mock BBS system, interest project really, but anyway...) back in the day. Never did play Dink Smallwood, or the graphical version of L.O.R.D., though.
