Taking the plunge

Today I am officially unemployed. A few months ago, I made the decision to quit my job at the school I'd worked at for three years to pursue writing full time.

*eeep!*

I am both exhilarated and terrified at the prospect. I'm excited to finally be able to put 100% of my energy and focus into something I love doing, but at the same time I'm terrified that it will turn out that after all this... I suck as a writer.

It's a ballsy move, one that could be wildly successful but I could just as easily fall flat on my face. However, the most important part of the outcome will be finally knowing that this is my true path in life. That being said, I will have to find some kind of part time job to bring in some money, however I'm giving myself a solid month to jump start my writing goals.

Starting on Monday, I'm beginning what I'm calling NaNoWriMo in July. Spending the next month writing a complete novel from start to finish. An ambitious goal to say the least, but I feel confident and capable of success.
