It's a Dog's Life

There was a time when I had a respectable job in the corporate world. Then I had a mid-life crisis. It came early. I was only 35. If you don't start writing now, my inner voice said, you probably never will.

I should have told it to shove it. One year and four months later, I spend more time looking for writing jobs than actually writing. I miss my income. I miss buying beautiful shoes. Will I ever get my break?
