A Writing Career

I would like to have a career some day, not a job.  There is a difference between the two.  I have been doing a lot of thinking about what I would like to do and my decision has been made.  I want to pursue a writing career.  Although I do have two writing jobs  I want to be published enough to make a good living off my writing.  The next decision I need to make is what subject do I want to write about.  I cannot write about mental illness, concurrent disorders, addiction, and alcoholism because there will not be enough places to get published and earn a living off it.  To my knowledge there is only one magazine in North America on the subject of mental illness and I am not sure about addiction and alcoholism.

So, I need to pick a subject and this will have to be my next decision.  I've been mulling over different subjects in my mind.  I have a keen interest in many different topics.  Some of the subjects I have been mulling over are:

  • Computers and technology.
  • Science.
  • Nature and conservation.
  • Global warming.
  • Fishing
  • Music and guitars.
  • Paranormal
  • Philosophy
This is not going to be an easy decision to make.  I am not going to let my OCD interfere with making my decision and once it is made I will not let my OCD make me change my mind.  I am determined to make the decision and stick to it come hell or high water.  Nothing will get in my way.

I have faith, hope, and courage because recovery is truly possible.
