For nearly seven years now I've been thinking about jettisoning the ordinary life for something fully creative. I have been living a sort of half artistic life (whatever that is – just remember to take away the myth) all this time or rather all my life. I've been let go from my place of employment with a decent package of benefits like free use of an outplacement agency and wad of cash. The proper phrase is "my position was impacted by corporate restructuring."
It's like they said "Go!" You know, that thing you say after "Ready, Set, ..." (or "On your mark, get set, ..."). I'm doing all that stuff now: thinking freely, investigating options, and seriously moving forward. I'm finding places that will pay me to write and others that will pay me to design. I'm fixing up my novels for publication. I'm building my dream life. All it took was someone to just say "Go!"

Wish I had kept up that momentum and gone. Now I'm depleted financially and emotionally and unready to go anywhere. Hope to resolve this soon.
