What do you want to write?

A lot of people want to write (later) because it's very precious to them to write, now. What if the writing that's precious now isn't precious later?

Is there a way you can write now and start to connect present with future?

Is there a way you can use or design a system of setting boundaries in your current position, so you have more comfortable head room in which to mull over this problem?

That's a great point. I am writing now, short stories. I write 1000 words almost daily. Also I have started to submit my short stories to competitions to see if they are any good. Eventually, I will move onto novels.

And the plan is once I start making enough money from writing, I will quit. I set 25 years deadline since I am not really good at writing, and then I will be retired anyways and kids will be done with college.
