overcome your disgust with all things economic

I will acknowledge there's a huge component of pride in this. I don't want to give my family an opportunity to tell me they were right in their choices all along. When I joined the publishing company after three years in various call centers, my brother described it as "finally seeing sense."

pull out from professional life

You've no idea how much I envy backpackers, but the prospect of not having a secure paycheck terrifies me.

Live cheaply and just start writing

I live cheaply already; it's just that I let previous roommates leech off me for too long and I'm still catching up with the effects of my misguided helpfulness.

plenty of frustrations and stuff to write about

Indeed, enough stuff for a thirty-season soap opera. But that's not the kind of stories I'm interested in exploring, at least not too overtly. My story ideas have other questions to answer.

you may simply not be able to be a writer

I can write. I may never get published. I need to figure out how to use the former to fix the latter.

taking care of your life

True, I'm not getting enough sleep these days, which should be fixed next month after I deliver a huge assignment at the office and my final exams for this semester. I'm a non-smoking vegetarian teetotaler who has to walk a kilometer between home and the bus stop. I hope that counts.
