Wow - where do I start? I LOVE being a writer. I love working from home (though it’s tough on my scales!). I love that I get paid for inventing whole worlds, flawed and hopeful characters, I love falling in love alongside with my characters. I love how I discover the stories as I write them. Sometimes I am one the edge of my seat (literally and figuratively) as I write out a scene and can’t wait to find out where it is going.
I’m not saying it’s easy – it’s incredibly hard sometimes. Even harder than when I worked on Wall Street because here what is at stake is something highly personal – I’m exposing something much more delicate than a professional ego. Writing is an intimate part of who I am and until I started publishing, that part was safely tucked away out of pubic sight and now it’s out there to be kicked and stepped on by whoever wishes. It’s not always easy – three are always better and more successful writers and it’s always scary that this dream might suddenly come to an end, but no matter what - it’s worth it!!
