And on the day after I declare my intention to make a living as a writer… I drive down to my son’s college, to help him move into his fraternity.
Writing is a big part of my life, and if all goes according to plan that portion will grow substantially larger in the coming year. But just as I’ve refused to define who I am by whatever job I currently worked, I’m not about to let my new profession interfere with other priorities. And there’s nothing I value more than my family.
