Wallace Stevens, perhaps America's greatest poet, also had a successful career working in insurance for decades. [1] is a nice short biography. It sounds like he was a committed & involved writer already before that though, and even he took some years off when he started the job and again after his daughter was born. So wherever you are, don't lose hope, but persist.
