Today is the last day of my teaching job, which means that
tomorrow is the first day of my life as a…(dare I say it?)…a full time author. I’ve
been working toward this for a long time, doing the things authors with day jobs
do—having a crazy schedule, trying to do too many things at once, sweating
deadlines, telling my husband that my share of the housework can wait until
retirement. It’s been a wild ride since my first book came out in 2006.

And now…well, I will no longer be able to use my day job as
a way to procrastinate when I hit a writing wall, which means I’ll have to come
up with new hobbies. Just kidding. My wise mother told me that quitting the day
job is like walking in the mud—you create a temporary empty space, but it is
almost instantly filled with other important things.
