One thing I’ve let go of in order to dedicate myself to writing? More than one, actually. I sold my house, sold my car, left my country, disengaged from a long relationship and closed down my successful consulting business — all so I could live without ready income and distractions and focus on writing. I did, however, keep my dog 🐾🥰
I gave up job security. I chose an industry that's volatile but it's been rewarding. I know I'm in the right field. What I'm tasked with now is learning how to make it sustainable for me whether I'm working for a publication on contract or I have clients. Getting laid off taught me that I need to always have a bounce back plan and a safety net that I've constructed myself because if the floor gives out, there needs to be something there to catch me. Not just savings but a direction and next steps.

Is that all? LOL
