Plunge

I want to take the plunge into full-time writing.

I really do.

I wish I could quit my “day-job” and get to work on a bunch of stories.

I think I’m scared, though.

I’m too … not sure what to call my writing.

Whatever it is, I’m that thing that will never sell. 

I wrote strange songs too.

I guess I’m strange. 

I wish I weren’t.

Wish I could write potboilers and sit back and watch the money roll in.

Wish I knew how to promote myself.  I don’t have the single-minded ego that that requires.

Perhaps, I could get someone to coach me through it. 
That’s it.  I should try that.

Thanks for reading (if you read this, that is!) — I appreciate any responses.
