I've been an erotic writer for the last year. Writing was one of my dream jobs, so when my stuff started selling on Amazon I quit my dayjob and pursued it full-time. For a year I wrote every day, traveled, partied, and lived through my laptop. The self-published ebook market became saturated, so now I'm lining up a job to wash dishes. I'm not too bummed, because I improved my writing skills a ton, had some unique life experiences, and came out of it looking like only somewhat of a weirdo to my friends. I have a few more ideas that will last me about 4 months, and then I might try writing about other things.
