I guess you're just like one of the many people who really don't know what they want to do to earn money.  How to spend your leisure time ... now I'm sure that's not a problem for you.  Maybe there's someway you could meld one or more of your favorite leisure activities with making money.

I'm having the same dilemma. So far my plan is to go to a massage therapy school b/c it's cheaper than most colleges and it's a good job I guess until you find what you want to do. I love acting, it's my whole obsession but I know how many people don't make it but that's okay b/c I love writing just as much as I love acting... I've been told that when you don't look for something it falls right in your lap, just like love, also I've been told that when you're physically looking for something that if you sit on your ass or put your hand on your asss you find, try it and it might work physically and mentally.

--It's a living. I'll tell you among the probable billions that you are an incredible writer and for a person to simple get through to a reader on a personal level simply through writing their own thoughts, is in any sense, amazing.

 

Personally, at 23, I don't feel I'm equipped via life experience to grow balls and really try a novel. I just don't think it would fit to write a manuscript and half-ass my way to the bookstore; I would want something extraordinary and it feels like--to me--that you're in that same boat. Thus the need to quench the thirst of a stranger's need for coffee I understand.

I guess if your love for writing is that demanding and present, it sucks to put it on hold for a little bit but in the same sense it's worth it to save it for a time when you can really sit down and spell out your soul.

 

I have no conclusion to this comment. I just wanted to tell you that sometimes, as a person who fills your shoes similarly, that there will be a moment when it hits you and what needs to be finished will be...in time.
