This line from the WaPo article about reader pet peeves almost made me spit out my coffee: Susan C. Falbo is tired of “protagonists who have had a hard day, finally stagger home and take a scalding hot shower.”
We're on the same path about deciding to write full-time, and I resonate a lot about if we can actually call it a career if it pays little to none but YES, if this is the career we really want. Follow the dream and the money will follow, not the other way around. Thank you for sharing!
I know, right? Here's what you do: you talk to your friend who lives in a somewhat isolated area and is wishing she had more friends around, you complain to her about how you have no time to write and that your job is sucking your soul. Next thing you know, she's offering you her guest room for a year! (Forever grateful to you, Nikki!)
Love the de facto "writer in residence" thing.
