One year ago, I worked my last day. I clocked out and walked out of the building that I went everyday, whether I wanted to go or not. I walked away from a good paying job with benifits.
Why?
I wanted to write. I have been saying for years. I just want to take a year off and write. That never happened. Then as I got older, yet to young to collect Social Security, I was getting tired. I was to tired to write on my days off.
One day, I was standing around, looking at my co-workers. They were not happy. They were there for the same reason I was, the paycheck. There has to be more to life than just working.
I worked. I saved money. I could not see myself here until society told me I could quit working. So I decided that if I was going to write the books I wanted to write, then now is the time.
I quit my job. I gave them a one week notice. I quit and I didn't look back. I can say this past year flew by.
I wrote and self-published Buy Now E-Book/Print/Kindle Unlimited
I also wrote a Novella that will be published later this year.
I blog everyday. My Other Blog is My Walk With Jesus. God pressed on my heart to Read the Bible this year. God also told me to blog everyday about what I read.
So everyday, I read the Bible and Blog everyday.
The first thing I do when I get up every morning is to Read the Bible and then Blog. So far so good.
A few days I go that I was struggling to write, even though I have written two books this past year. I will still struggle. But I do have something to keep bringing me back to the computer, Blogging.
So once I am at the computer, it is easier to go to my other writings, I am already at the computer.
So what I am saying is that, I quit my job, because life is to short. We could be dead tomorrow or ten minutes from now.
Do what God has placed on your heart.
Writing is a gift from God.
Use it.
There are days I don't write.
There are days I can't leave the computer.
Today I have been sitting at the computer for the past three hours.
Write, wherever and whenever.
I quit my day job and I don't regret it.
You don't have to quit your job to write, the choice is yours
