Well, in my case I wasn’t working at a fly-me-all-over-the-world job, but a library. So, I wasn’t walking a way from a huge salary, but there was a certain amount of security. I took a completely independent sales job because I felt that it was the only way I would be able to earn a living while still being able to do what I want to do, write. It’s been a rocky road, but I recently signed my first book contract, and feel like I am on my way to living the life I really want to lead instead of settling for something else.

Good luck to you in your creative journey!
