Woman As Art
The decision to be a writer is one of the biggest gambles you will take in your life. The main reason this is true is that you probably will not be able to make a living from writing. I’m not saying you can’t make money as a writer. If you are talented, persistant and actually put in the time to learn how to write you can make money.
You just won’t make a living as a writer.
This means you must absolutely do two things in life if you are going to have any chance for happiness. You must find a job that you like. And you must surround yourself with supportive people who understand your need to write.
