Quest complete.

Tomorrow’s a pretty big day for me. I thought I’d announce it now, though. Seems I told a few people something big was coming. Not a lot of people…well, okay…just everyone on my Facebook page.

So, what’s the big deal?

Tomorrow, I turn in my letter of resignation at my day job, and give them two weeks’ notice. On May 16th, I start my first day in my new career: author. Yep, I’m going to try to do this writing thing full time for a while. It wasn’t an easy decision, and it isn’t one I’m doing without some forethought and planning. So, if you’re a self-pubbed writer, don’t do this right after you’ve released your first book. Do it when you have a year’s worth of income ready to hand, and a few books under your name that are selling okay.

So, tomorrow starts a period of transition and farewells. I’ve worked at my current day job for more than ten years, and as much as I’m looking forward to writing full time, some of those farewells won’t be easy ones. But, this is what I have always wanted to do with my life, so it’s a lot like hitting a Lifetime Achievement Goal in the Sims.

I’m going to write for a living. I’ll be a full time writer. That’s some nifty stuff.

Quest completed. Achievement unlocked.

I read _Demon's Apprentice_ and _Page of Swords_ in one solid three day gulp and I was all "OMG! Must follow this awesome author!" I'm so glad you get more time to devote to your craft, and good luck figuring out the new adventure of self employment. (Beware the ROUS, the fire swamp, and taxes.)

I just re-read Demon's Apprentice and Page of Swords. Certainly looking forward to the next book. I enjoyed them both...again...and wish you all the best in your new job. :)
