Buying a one way ticket is a bit daunting and could back fire when you get to your destination. Some people can do it, but some can’t and they end up going back to the place where they feel safe. Life isn’t easy unfortunately, we have to work just to survive and in order to thrive we must work a job that makes us feel fulfilled. For artists, whether a writer or painter or whatever this world can feel empty and unfullfiling it isn’t easy to work and find time to write a great work. Don’t fret though some of the best works of art, science, thought have come when people have worked in dead end jobs. Einstein worked in a patent office, J.k. Rowling had an office job, those are just two of many.

Writing is your passion, so now you need to figure out what kind of writing you want to do and what you need to do to become a paid writer in that field. If you want to write romance or mystery novels you need to write, write, and write and then send, send, send your writing to publishers and you can self publish on the amazon kindle store. The amazon kindle store might be the best and worst thing ever for writers, because now anyone can publish a book and because anyone can publish a book the market is so saturated with self published books it is difficult to make yours stand out.

It sounds like you have a love for nature. There have been many, many writers that have lost themselves in nature and wrote about it. Nature can never be worn out, because some people can do it and some can’t and for the people that can’t then they can read about it. Many great writers really focused on the wilderness, its beauty and destruction. Nature can be described in infinite ways which is why it doesn’t grow stale. Dick Proenneke started a recent revolution with “Alone in the Wilderness” and if you have heard of “Into The Wild” that is a book about a young man that tried to emulate Dick Proenneke.

Only you can pave your road to success and do as Ralph Waldo Emerson’s famous quote, “Do not go where the path may lead,go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
