Hi Daniel.
If your heart is pulling you in the direction of a writing genre, you may develop your own niche. Sometimes networking with different kinds of people helps you listen more closely to yourself and what you already know inside. Writing enables you to give your core a voice. You gain insight into yourself whether or not writing becomes part of your career path.
Think about Stephen King's life story. He struggled for years teaching and taking other jobs to support his family while they struggled in a trailer park. During the evenings, he decided to write horror fiction for magazines because he acknowledged this genre was his true passion. When he was offered a much needed raise linked to increased work that would've cut into his writing time, he decided to turn down the extra work. Making that choice led him to market his stories more and develop a following. His life evolved to define unexpected success as a writer based on his priorities. Early on, he hadn't predicted exactly what he would become. He followed his instincts and they took him places he hadn't initially dreamed of.
Best wishes,
Liara
