Well first I wouldn't dare call myself a 'writer' until I'm doing it full time and making a living from it, so I can't stop being a 'writer' until I am one and once I reach that definition then I'm not a failure. Call a solution to your Kobayashi Maru scenario But I don't have an agenda or a time table, it's more of a journey. I see where it takes me. Interesting.

Call a solution to your Kobayashi Maru scenario

But I don’t have an agenda or a time table, it’s more of a journey. I see where it takes me.
