I have wanted to quit my job and stay home and write for years. I just wanted to take a year off to write. I never did.
After I stopped writing the Series Me VS Zombies life got in the way of my writing, and I was tired of writing and working all the time. It can be exhausting. I kept writing, kept working, doing what I needed to do.
2019 is a new year and a new life. I will be quitting my job this year. I will be focusing on my writing. I moved out in the country which makes me not want to go to town. I don't want to drive down miles of country road to get to the main highway and go to town. I no longer am willing to drive in winter in fear of getting stuck in the snow or ending in the ditch because of icy roads.
Most people call me cheap. I am. I also have money to live off of for a few years, so I can stay home and write, raise chickens and plant a huge garden.
As I get older, things that were important to me are no longer important. I do wish I would of done this when I started self-publishing. I would of been further in my writing career and have more books published.
For me the time has come. I have a few more months to work before I quit.I will be focusing on Blogging everyday. I have another Blog I Am Walking With GOD That I will be blogging everyday, along with writing and publishing books.
So if you want to quit your day job, here is my suggestions:
1. Take yourself seriously as a writer, no matter what anyone says.
2. Save your money. You don't need to spend $5.00 on a cup of coffee, stop going out to eat.
3. Make an account just for writing, and put money into that account or jar, the money you would of spent going out to eat, getting your nails done or at the hair salon, over time that will add up.
4. Act like a writer. Write.
5. Follow your heart.
6. Down Size your life.
Whatever you do Keep On Writing.
