Hi Nikki,

I recently quit my job as an accountant to focus on writing (copy-writing and editorial) full time. I've been writing since I was like 7 or 8, and I've always secretly felt (okay not secretly) that I was destined to become a writer. I've had some luck. Like a little bit. I have been fortunate enough to build up a growing list of clients with consistent (though not really rent-paying work) so I am looking for a job in the communications field where I can que up my marketing experience. If I had to give you any advice, and it's advice i'm sure you already know, it's that building a brand/business takes investment of both time and money. You can go balls to the wall, quit your job and go hard or you can put up with a few more months of four hours worth of sleep. Have you considered freelance work? Do you have any clients? Do you have any connections in your network on linkedin or who read your blog that you can contact for work or references? I'd start there. May I also mention, that I too am brown and I'm a full time student and I blog for two other clients in addition to my personal blog? I am NOT tooting my own horn but as Denzel Washington once said, "You do what you gotta do until you get to do what you wanna do." Or something like that. To bridge the gap, I would start yesterday on getting some paying clients.
