The lesson from this I learned, you don't have to wait for your circumstances to be perfect to do what you want to do, they never will be. I was fresh out of a divorce, a single mom, just met a guy on OkCupid and didn't know where that would go, just got laid off from my job, I mean, I was scared shitless, but I'm so happy I did it. Back then, I thought I was crazy. I still think I'm crazy, but I got this one huge benefit out of all of this. I know that if I die tomorrow, I was my happiest these last three years. I got to write, to lose myself in my stories. It's amazing that people read my books, I honestly didn't expect anyone to read them, I was just happy writing. I got to read genius books I always wanted to have time to read. I fell in love and I allowed my boyfriend to love me, which made me a better writer. And I'm just happy, simply happy, being able to do all this, being able to hopefully inspire you to do the same, to follow your dream now, NOW, not wait until the world falls apart on you and kicks you in the ass, because you don't know how much longer you have left. None of us do, but while we're here, if we do what we love, if we're happy, we will make people around us happy, and this whole world will benefit from it, blossoming a little more. Do it. Don't wait. The universe will turn around and hold you when you think you're falling, because you told it you believe in your dream. Here is one more thing, if you're still not convinced. I'm barely making any money from selling my books, only about $3,500 in 2013 and hardly anything in 2014. My unemployment has ended, and my savings are running out around April - May. I don't know what will happen when I'm out of money, but until then I will continue writing like mad, continue giving my books away for free, because art was meant to be shared.

I love you. Write. Read. Love. Do. Create. You can do it. I believe in you. xoxo
