RE: The Life of a Writer with a Full Time Job

in #writing8 years ago

Thank you for sharing this story! Of course I value your thoughts on the practicalities of writing, but more than that, I appreciate your commitment to follow your passion. I've made several choices in my life to follow my passion, and although its not easy (long hours, lack of stability, etc.), I'm happy with the choices I've made. So I'm always appreciative of someone else following their dreams, and encouraging the rest of us to do the same. Makes me feel a little less alone! :)

Thank you, @jeska! There are, indeed, many sacrifices we must make to follow our dreams. The path isn’t an easy one. There have been many days when I’ve wanted to quit but something keeps spurring me along. Living this way has made me resilient and it also has made me appreciate the things that really matter. Creative people really are like one big family. When I’m feeling down spending time with other creative people never fails to lift my spirits. Thank you for your comment!
