If you don't mind uninspired queries: how do you tend to schedule/manage/pursue the writing portion of your life ? Did you turn a distinct corner, as in heaving ho a former day gig ? Vs a gradual galumphing toward letters & keyboards ? Vs 'still double parking/ vs 'no former gig to ditch/ vs 'the q. is presumptuous & mis-posed: tenure of Federal Judge-ships does not readily lend to heaving; no gold watch.

I don't consider myself as terribly hard core about writing but I do carry a laptop with me and pound out a few pages when I have a few minutes of downtime. Most of my writing is done on the weekends when I can block out a decent amount of time to write. I tend to get involved in the story and if I have the time can really churn out the work.
I still have my day job, which will probably be with me for a long time. I write because I've found that I really enjoy it and that's primarily why I write. I've always enjoyed reading and one day I said, "I can do that!" I sat down to try my hand and found that it came pretty naturally to me. I've been writing smut for about 3 years and doing reasonably well. Sales are good and increasing, so I really can't complain too much.
You do need to be able to have enough time to do serious writing and support from your significant other. We have a fairly hectic social life but that works out well as I get a lot of ideas for future stories.
From your question I assume that you are interested in trying your hand at being a scribe, so I'd recommend that you go for it. I've watched a number of people crash and burn so not everyone is cut out to be an author but who knows, give it a try.
Anything else, message me back.
