An interesting post by an agent tailor-made to burst my little soap bubble dreams.

I dream of the quit-the-day-job deal. I am also a tad security-conscious. I once took one of those on-the-job personality tests--the results were a tie between "entrepreneur" and "security", which is about as conflicted a result as you can get.

To be a full-time writer. The books need to keep selling, and you need to keep writing them. For 20, 30, 40 years or more.

I jumped the gun. Sorry. :-/ But you said exactly what I'd been thinking for the past few days. I still think this adult thing is waay overrated.

As the day draws closer, I think I'll finally be able to shake out once and for all what I'm willing to do without. I only hope that I don't jump before I'm really ready, and end up regretting it.

Then there are days when I think I'd be willing to live on peanut butter if I could just step away. It isn't even that my job is 60+ hours a week stressful. It's just that I'm going through the motions.
