| I miss a lot of things, like how I planned my life and work. I had a dream of becoming a writer then I decided to major in Chemistry. I miss the life I would have had had I been a writer from the outset. Would I have to work nights to write during the day? Would I have to be a waitress somewhere where I could earn tip money to pay the rent (waitressing is such a sad experience in my eyes). Would I have been married early in my career, but all that is gone away. I thought if I majored in a hard science I would never fear being unemployed in the future. I fear being alone in the world without a ballast, an anchor to keep me alive. I know there are good jobs for writers that work on their craft part time, but in those days I didn’t know very much about living as a writer. So I put the writer craft on the shelf to pursue when I finally retire and devote my years in writing about my past experiences as a memoir, or as a life lesson (see my books). |
