I sent out a short story to a magazine the other day. This was a big moment for me -- due to a lot of logistical reasons, I hadn't sent anything out since the end of 2008. But now I'm serious.
You know why? My job is not fun. At all. And I really, really would rather be making my money on this writing business.
Oh, how often are novelists born out of misery...

Good for you!!! Submit, submit, submit!!!! Wishing you lots of luck!!
I gave up my floral career...not so much for my writing career...I could ahve done both. My work was mainly May through october (wedding season) so I could have written all winter no problem. But my heart wasn't in the floral business anymore and I wasn't making much money. I had already decided a writing career was what I'd rather be doing...so now I am pursuing it :) BUT.....hubby and I have an agreement...if by the time our son starts kindergarten, I am not making some money from my writing...I will get a job...anything. That gave me a full 5 and a half years. Our son will be 2 soon, so two of those years are gone...but I am far from where I was when he was born and much closer to being a paid author!!
