It’s active therapy
My story is rather similar
At 24 I had just quit my dream job in Hollywood, California and was completely disillusioned with life.
I saw people living the life of their dreams and I was stuck going through the motions - one day blending into the next.
Until one day I was fed up, and wanted to do SOMETHING to change my course.
I picked up writing and haven’t looked back since.
8 years and one best selling book later, it was the best decision I made.
If you want to make it as a writer, you must love writing. And if you don’t love writing, do whatever you love - you’ll be happier that way.
