I think it is worth a read.
The author has always wanted to write a book. She tried doing it while she was working, but could not manage due to other commitments such as family, work, etc. She summed it up best in:
Unfortunately, I just couldn't find the discipline to also be a good writer. And so, I felt like I needed to not be working at my job anymore.
Finally, she made her decision:
I decided to prioritize my family and my dream of writing, and I handed in my notice in December 2022.
Three months into her gap year, she quipped:
The pace of my day is so much slower now, and the freedom of that is shocking. I hadn't realized how much tension I'd been holding in.
I feel this pretty much mirrors my situation as well, except I have more things I want to do than her.
Sometimes once you have prepared all you can, you just have to take a leap of faith.
Take risks, dream big.
