I decided to take a big risk and pursue the career I wanted despite the money issue. It's not writing, though. I decided to keep writing as something I do on the side, and I hope I can something of a go at it even if it's not my career. Yeah, money is a problem.

You were our first comment, so yay! I loved reading your writing story. It sucks that you aren't going to pursue writing as your career because of money at the moment. I hope that whatever you do lets you have time to write in your free time! Thanks so much for participating! You were our first comment, so yay!
