I no longer employed. Saturday was my last day at a job that I worked for 27 years. I walked away from a good paying job with benefits and health insurance. Why would I do that? Why would anyone walk away from a secure job with benefits?
It was now or never. I came to a point in my life that I would rather just die than work one more day at a job that was sucking the life out of me.
It was a good job, but by the time I got to my two days off, I was so tired, I slept on my days off. I never felt good. I was exhausted. I new what books I wanted to write. I was writing long hand at work. I have stacks of pages written in longhand, when I got home I was to tired to type the pages into the computer.
I was miserable. Society says that we have to work 40 hours a week and work until we are 65-67 years old. I knew for a fact that I would not make working until I was 62 let along 67. I physically or mentally will not make it.
I trudged into work, day in and day out miserable.
I then moved out into the country. I have always been a city girl. I do not like the outdoors with all the bugs, snakes and muddy ground when it rains.
A funny thing happened. It is quiet in the country. No neighbors, no traffic. It was quiet. I could think. I sat on the deck and wrote with my laptop. I liked living out in the country. I was quite surprised.
I have a 4 Book Series I need to write. I feel that GOD placed the idea on my heart and I am suppose to write these books. I have the book covers, I have them plotted out in my head. I just need time to write when I am not so tired.
What am I suppose to do? I no longer work and write. I am exhausted when I leave work. I want to write, but just in long hand.
Quitting my job was the only thing for me to do.
I realize not everyone can quit their day job. I have said for years, "I just want to stay home and write." I never stopped saying that.
So here I am. Now when people ask me what I do, I can honestly say, "I am a blogger and writer." I am no longer chained to a job that was sucking the life out of me.
Now it is up to me whether I write or not, to blog or not, to promote my books or not. I no longer have an excuse not to write.
Now that I live in the country, I have 18 chickens and soon a greenhouse. I will be busy this summer with chickens and the garden, and will have to write.
So this is my story. How I write and self-publish while dealing with country living.
I have over 50 E-Books on Amazon
I urge you to grab a copy of this book How I wrote and published over 50 E-book
Writing can sometimes can be hard, but Self-Publishing is not. Learn how I learned to write and self published. When I started I did not even know how to send an attachment with an e-mail and when I received and attachment with an e-mail I had no idea how to read. and had no idea that there was more than one drive on the computer, so if you think you can not self-publish, you are so wrong. That will be another blog.
Check out my other blog I am walking with God I believe that we are all here with a purpose. If GOD gave you the gift of writing, then you have a story to tell, and don't let anyone talk you out of writing your story. The world is waiting to hear your story.
Keep On Writing
