Back to the Work I Love

I am sick and tired of working for The Man.
What I really want is to be a professional writer, working on my own schedule, travelling and living when and where I want, and using my creative spark instead of stifling it nine to five.
So I'm jumping back into writing. I've made a pact with my aunt, who is a professional stained glass artist, and I've decided that I will be more disciplined about keeping an idea notebook, looking for freelance jobs, and writing for practice and fun at home.
Fingers crossed: one day I'll be signing a book deal and out of cubicles forever.
