I'm 23 and considering quitting my job to attempt to write my first book. I have money saved up and a bibliography collected and scattered notes to develop into chapters.

Don't quit your job, but keep working at it every night. Try and write 1000-2000 words every single day. The biggest problem a writer faces is not the actual writing itself, but rather sitting down to write. If you can sit down now, then you won't be able to sit down even when you don't have a job.

Keep your job, but keep on writing. Get it done anon!!!

I really don't know how extensive your job is, but the last job I had, there were times where I did nothing but just stand there and wait.

24 here, datamine me.

I don't think I'm a boomer or doomer, frankly I feel like I'd be less out of place in the 1920s or even the 1860s.

The only thing I'm 'writing' is my doctoral thesis (well, sorting out corrections now). Did a short stint in a consulting company whilst waiting for viva etc., it was well paid but I discovered I despise being salaried. Declined to continue and now need to figure out what would be satisfying once corrections are done and the thesis is out of the way.

I have several company ideas, I think I'm going to become one of those bastards who gets bored of idealism and instead pursues a materialistic hedonism of making companies and money, without even a target that will provide satisfaction.

Also academia is just the modern clergy, and fuck anyone who goes into it.

yeah that is most decent people. the problem is young guys are all in/all out and often end up failures. I'm not saying to take the middle path because that is often a horrible compromise. a bimodal strategy is best. if you can get one of those jobs where you work 2-3 weeks on, one week off then you'll have the best of both worlds and it's way more tolerable (and often higher pay) than a 5-6 day grind week in week out.

the days are exhausting, but because you know you will have 3-4 full days off you don't really have to worry about doing much on the days you are working.
