Maybe you envy people who can be full-time writers. In some ways it's great, but there is also a downside. Consider this quote:
"I think aspiring writers should be wary of building their lives around the career of being a writer to the exclusion of everything else. Because when what you know is writing and only writing, you'll eventually end up crafting stories about writers. Which is, yes, boring."
n Carolyn Kellogg – blog in the LA Times “Jacket Copy”
If you have another full-time job, you're banking lots of material that you can use in your writing. If it's your goal to be a full-time writer, keep a journal of what's happening now and you'll have plenty of material to draw upon later.
(There's a lot more guidance about the writing life in my book, YOUR WRITING COACH, published by Nicholas Brealey Publishing and available from Amazon and other online retailers and book stores.)
