Karthic asked Samura - சமுர:

How to effectively makeup Academics and Writing? I am scared i might end up screwing my academics concentrating more on my passion of Writing! :( But cannot give up too!

Samura - சமுர Your situation is somewhat similar to my situation. I manage both my profession and writing for the last 1 year. You can't leave your core profession/academics till you get a good handle on the passionate area and earning a regular income from it. Till then, you concentrate most of your time on academics. But, spend your quality time (1-2 hours) on learning and getting hands-on in your passionate area i.e writing. The quality time is either early morning before 8 AM or after 8 PM whichever works for you. You need to choose a time when you are mostly undisturbed and also your mind is fresh. Spend little bit of quality time regularly on a daily basis without fail and make continuous incremental progress. Publish your writings, get feedback and keep improving & producing more writings. Establish good readers, writers and publishers circle. This needs to be done without impacting the academics much. Because, academics is going to be a fallback option in your career in case if your passionate area doesn't fly well.
When you choose your higher studies, carefully choose a course which can make use of your writing skills. My belief is that unless you make your primary profession work in your passionate area, you cannot realize the fullest potential you hold.

In a nutshell, take care of your core academics/profession as a fallback option in your career while spend little quality regularly in your passionate area with the objective of making it your primary career.
