Handing In the Resignation© by Holly Lisle
All Rights Reserved
I only have two pieces of advice here.
1. Don't resign while naked.
2. Don't resign by using
firearms.
Otherwise, whatever you do is probably cool. A friend of mine
danced on his desk in the law office while cutting his tie into
small pieces. The second time I quit the day job---the time I quit
for real---I went home and had a bonfire in my back yard in which
I burned my uniforms. (There are times when living in the country
is a wonderful thing. That wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying
in a fireplace.) It was great. And my life has been an adventure
ever since.
Best of luck to you, wild and woolly fellow writer. This is what
I have to offer that got me out of the day job---what I did as well
as what I should have done. I hope you make it, too. It's worth
every bit of struggle, and it's worth it every single day.
