I've got a few irons in the fire right now. I have a good good job that allows me to compress my work week, giving me more days off in a year than I work. I'm building my own house and still have several months of work until it we move in. I plan to keep the job and work on my writing until the house is done, then move quickly to writing full time.
I've tried writing before, with some success, but quit each time when the money didn't come in quickly enough or in enough quantity. One of the lessons I am learning while building the house is to take a big project all the way from conception to completion. I tend to start stong, but I am easily distracted.
I've been talking about earning my living through a creative endeavor for 18 years.
The time has come!
