First, you definitely write well and have your way with words in English, For someone who has apparently lived much of his life in a Spanish-speaking country, it is already impressive. Do you write in your spare time, fiction or non-fiction? Do people praise your writing and ask for more? If you do speak English half as well as you write, finding a way to live in an English-speaking country, where there are generally many more opportunities is certainly the order of business (ehm, sorry).
Second, what do you thing would be one thing (just one, not a combination of several) which could help you out of the funk? Examples: $100k, a writing contract, being accepted to the university in a program where you can finish your degree...
I'm close to giving up on writing science-fiction in Spanish; it's just not a good market. I plan to translate/rewrite my first novel, which sold a minuscule amount during its two years at the Kindle store.
At the same time, I'm writing a Captain Planet fanfiction that people have liked a lot.
Also, I intend to save for an annual examination to become a certified translator. That might help my emigration prospects.
I need to be able to make progress in my projects without damaging my ability to support myself. But I'm not sure that the concrete way of calling this need is "more time."
