So you want to be a writer?

I’ve been writing seriously since 2010. This means for seven years, when asked what I do for a job, I reply,"Writing." Despite beginning this journey when I was in my teens, I was interrupted by life. Most of my friends were surprised when I didn't pursue writing as a career. So was I.

You make choices and they take you down unexpected roads you think you control and that will bring you eventually to your heart's desire. Not so, I'm afraid.
