So, a few days ago, I finally got something done I've been wanting to do for a while. I went part time at my day job!
It didn't exactly happen how I wanted it to, but I'm still glad enough that it happened at all. It feels like such a big weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I feel free! Well, almost. The day that I'm really free will be the day I can quit all together and be a writer full time, but this is a good start.
I can now start my ideal writing schedule, which is early in the morning when I wake up, around 8am until at least noon, or longer if I'm on a roll. Right now, I'm excited to do this on my terms and write some good pieces that can be shared with the world.
Too many people spend their lives in a way they don't want to, deciding that it's just the way it has to be. I don't believe that's true, though. I knew I had to take a chance on myself and my writing ability. Pass or fail, I will know that I gave myself a fair chance to succeed, which is all one can ever ask for. After that, it's up to you what you make of that chance. So, here's to the next chapter!
Let me know in the comments what your ideal writing schedule is, and if you've been able to start writing full time.
