[syndacks]

I wrote a book in the mornings and after work, as well as on the weekends. It was hard work and incredibly satisfying. While I hoped to publish, I didn't put nearly enough effort into finding a literary agent, etc. Through the process I learned just how hard writing is and while I still dream of being an author, I've decided not to quit my day job for it yet. There's no playbook for how to transition to the arts from CS afaik. Society will think you are weird etc for wanting to do that..."there's no money in it"
