Think of a few things you would enjoy spending your time on. Now, pick one of those, and make a web site that lets you do whatever that is.

Or:

QA, tech writer, book writer, blogger/consultant/freelancer (where your blog supports and builds your brand and credibility).

hi antidoh! thanks for your suggestions. I'm curious about being a QA and consultant. How do I get started?

QA: contact a few local contractor agencies. Some specialize in QA. Or contact a few companies directly and say "I wanna do X." You may have to look longer than you're used to if you want a QA position that pays what you're used to.

How to be a consultant or freelancer: dunno. Just some roles that I know some people do, and some of those do it well.
