Black Coffee & Bourbon’s last blog post..High Off of Bleach

What a fun blog name you have :) And sometimes it takes something different than guts to make such a move…some might even say a bit of naivete helps….

You're too funny to refer to student loans (if I have them); thankfully law school wasn't really what put me under as I went to a state school and got a scholarship--it was the private frou frou undergrad that's killing me :(<br/><br/>Odessa, sounds like you're doing exactly what you need to be doing right now--we can't really ask for more than that in life, can we? Best of luck with your writing :)<br/><br/>Tori, exactly! I think a lot of people are waiting for change and risk to *not* be scary or to have success guaranteed, but I'm pretty sure things have been like this since the beginning of time so the only real question in my book is if not now, when? Modelbehavior, why thanks; good to see you around :)

Sure, there are many financially scary moments, but they are over shadowed by the joy I have in my life.

thanks for sharing this. been lurking in your blog for some time now and i really enjoy your writing.

anyways, i too can relate to your story. i wanted to be a doctor all my life, i guess just because it seems like what any overachieving eldest child should do, be a doctor or a lawyer. but i left med school, moved to san francisco, and am now working as an occupational therapist for children with special needs. and like you, i realized that all i really want is to live a life of writing.

again, thanks for sharing your story!

Not necessarily moving to Italy, but she would like to spend time in Buenos Aires. Anyway, I noticed you said you still do practice law a bit, thanks for the fabulous internet. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to chat with my friend (or at least exchange an e-mail or two) about what you're doing right now, because it lines up with what she's trying to figure out for herself... You are such an inspiration!!
