This is one thing I hope people will catch. I am not sure how truly crazy it was for you, or how much you have left out, but for someone with no writing experience to just up and quit thier job becaue they get a writing itch, can be troublesome. For me, I had a PT side hustle when I was forced into writing FT. Once should always consider the ramifications of such a leap, espeically if they have people who rely on them. You had the luxury of freedom and succeeded.
