I Don’t Want a Job, I Want to Write!

Is it bad to say that I don’t care to have a ‘real job?’

I’m sure that you have heard this saying from a lot of people.

A lot of us don’t want to work for others, but for ourselves.

I’m definitely one of those people.

I dream of working from home, writing horror stories.

If Stephen King can make it work, why can’t I?

Of course, it’s not going to be that easy.

Maybe I’m just lazy and I don’t want to put all the effort of searching for a job out in the real world. Let’s face it, looking for a job right now is a pain in the ass…and I feel that it’s taking too long. We all got to work twice as hard now to get where we want in life.

I’m prepared for what I have to do, but man…the journey is going to be a tough one. If my dream ever comes true, I’m going to be in total bliss, living off of my writing, as I continue to produce horror stories for horror fans.

One can dream.

What kind of dream job do you writers wish for?

    I totally feel the same way! I’ve always dreamed of working for myself and writing for a living. Jobs really steal our essence. I'm currently working in a toxic job, and it drains my energy. Many times, I feel like a zombie.
