I wasn't sure how to respond to the pool, because I'm taking the leap, but my husband is supporting our family. While I'm extremely grateful that I don't have to worry about how much money I make from writing, I also find it a weird place to be in my career. The lack of stress to earn also means it sometimes doesn't feel like I qualify as a "real" author. Somehow it feels easier to say I'm a mom, because everyone understands that, but I keep the schedule of a working mom. But I would say I'm still in the R&D phase of my startup. ;-)

"A lot of my writing is about characters seeking deeper connections and searching for home and family. " Love that.
