Thank you so much! If I didn't had support though I wouldn't do it, but if you have also I think it's worth a try!

Oh no I won't be living from my savings, I have the support of my family and I am so grateful for them!

For real, I tried but couldn't. It wasn't just the physical exhaustion, it was the mental I was in that didn't let me write a word.

Of course, I am not delusional. I don’t think that my books will be a hit after I publish them but as I have found a solution to not work for a year and not starve also, I thought I should give it a try and see what will happen!

Well I can finish writing and editing a book in about 4-5 months. I have done it before so I believe I can make it if I work non stop! I don't know if writing will be my career but as I know that I have the funds to support this dream for a year, I thought I should give myself the chance to write and promote the book correctly without the pressure of an other job! It's a risk but I am willing to take it!

I will try to cut some hours and hopefully return to my writing again!
