Chapter V is on a distinguished road
Default wanting to be a full time author, but don't want a low end side job.

(I'll try to be as detailed as possible)

I recently had the guts to speak to my parents and to tell them that I won't be settling for a job that seems like crap. I feel that even though I have no employment experience that doesn't mean I have to work in a low end job.

i told them that my dream career is to be a full time author, writing fantasy fiction. I'm writing a novel that will extend into series, And I KNOW it will be published once I'm done with it. I get a lot of people trying to shove their limiting beliefs down in me, telling me that "it hard to have a career like that", and "only a few are successful in a career of fiction writing"; But that's what I REALLY want to do. Yet, I'll need a side job to support myself as I'm writing my novel. The thing is, I don't want to have a crappy side job, and I never had a job; this will be my first time. So honestly, I don't know. I would like support in what I should do in this situation.
