RE: Looking for a Literary Agent? Read This First....
Thanks for sharing your personal account and advice for aspiring writers. It took a year off and out of my corporate life and wandering the world to publicly admit that writing is a lifelong passion that I've ignored for too long and I want to find a way to do it full time. Thanks for this.
good for you! it's not often that people figure out what their passion is and then follow it. i would definitely keep your expectations about doing it full time realistic, however. it's pretty difficult for that to become a an actual thing, but good luck!
Yes the warnings are appreciated and the fact that I'm actually a grown up who has lived and struggled in the real world makes me know what you're saying is true. I'm going to give it a go and probably do some consulting to pay the bills. Thanks for the encouragement.
