HA HA! Time for the writer's life!

I plan on going to school for English and maybe philosophy just to enhance my writing, but overall I'm already confident in my abilities and will hopefully be writing fiction for a living within the next five years.

What should be my first steps in becoming a full-time ne'er-do-well? Should I buy a beret? Smoke cigarettes? Procrastinate and attempt suicide? Alcohol? The possibilities are endless!

But seriously, writer's life thread. Share your experiences.
