Author
I've written several novels, and published my novella: Death, The Pharmacist.
I write hundreds to thousands of words a day, conduct social media outreach, and send emails to various news outlets, podcasts, blogs, etc. Being an author is a unique career because there are no work days and likewise no off days. Work and life are blended. Sure, there is a production quota and also necessary business tasks, but being an author is about thinking, producing, resting, and repeating the aforementioned cycle.
"1. Writing isn't a real profession. 2. The chances of making sustainable income from book sales are slim. 3. Consider that readers are quick to forget, and slow to forgive. 4. Everyone has a big idea, but that doesn't make them a good writer. "
