I quit my job February 23, 2019
I was tired. I was cranky and I just wanted to write. I have said for years, "I just want to take a year off to write." The time came. I put my notice in. The day I walked out of that building and never looked back.
Sure I have to watch my money. Ink for the printer is not cheap. The internet is not cheap. Writing supplies is not cheap. Then there is monthly bills. I downsized and willing to give up a few things so I can stay home to write.
For me, it is not a money thing. It is a heart thing. I am told that I am a nicer person. I think I was hard to live with because I was so tired and mad about myself because I wasn't doing what I wanted to do.
HERE IS THE UPDATE
1. Published Prepare Yourself For The Rapture, as an E-Book
2. Have a Proof Copy of Prepare Yourself For The Rapture
3. Have written a 20,000 word story The Cross
4. Created a Time-Line for The Cross
5. Blogging more My Other Blog I Am Walking Wit God
I have been writing 4 months.
I know others might have been more productive, but the fact that I have one book published, another book in rewrite and I am thinking and plotting on the next book.
I am not telling you to quit your job.
I reached a point that I hated my job. I liked the people. I liked the company I worked for. I hated, not being able to write. I was too tired to blog. I was to tired to write. It was an effort just to get out the door to go to work. I just wanted to stay home and write.
So I had to give up a few things:
1. I don't go out to eat.
2. I do not spend money every day
3. I am on a strict budget.
4. I limited my food options.
5. I eat basic food and don't buy food, just because I want it.
6. I do monthly shopping and will not go to the store for one item. I will live without that item. (Suck it up)
7. I don't go to the movies. (Which I love to do) I wait for the DVD.
8. I keep a record of everything I spend, to the penny.
9. I have a garden and chickens.
10. I gave up being miserable
I AM FOLLOWING MY HEART---I AM HAPPY----CONTENT
I AM DOING WHAT GOD CREATED ME TO DO---------------WRITE
If you can not quit your day job, start to day. Think about your spending. Start down and start planning, so one day you can walk out of that building and not look back. Start planning now.
