I've been asked that any number of times, actually. Including on F_W, so I'm quick to disassociate myself from all other Claires when it comes up. (I doubt that she would appreciate the connection, either. *g*)
Oh, sorry about that...I did realize there was no connection, it was just a nice reminder fir me, not an accusatory one! And she wouldn't mind the connection I'm sure, she's a slasher for life and has a good sense of humour,who matter whatr fandom at large has to say about it. She asked me to write some slash for her books!, too! LOL I got sucked into Sherlock instead.
I decided many moons ago that I really love writing, but to do it professionally would be crazy-making. Writing something to publish is on my lifetime agenda, but I wouldn't quit my job (which I love). I need the daily interaction, I think writing professionally would leave me talking to imaginary friends and crying on the floor.
I hear you. I have an issue with deadlines--anything I'm having fun doing immediately becomes a chore if I have to get it done by a certain time. So there's that, plus health issues that I would need to deal with (if I even can) before I could consider being able to travel extensively, which one has to do in support of one's pro writing, apparently. So I plink away at my original things very slowly and have fun with fanfic (though I've had trouble finishing that, lately, too. *sigh*)
I hope it's nothing too scary! Once you get that sorted and you feel good, I'm sure you'll feel more confident taking on all the things you want to do. :)
