Selectively Juggling

I’m seriously contemplating an alternate career involving full time writing and photography. The only problem is that it doesn’t provide the financial freedoms and safety that my current career does. Given that I am a parent and have a mortgage, I’m somewhat hemmed in. Hence, I write and am a photographer in my spare time. The trick will be to publish my works and see if I actually have any viable talent, and then see if it’s possible to swap careers. I don’t crave fame and fortune, just enough to cover all costs, bills and to be able to have a healthy safety-net in the bank.
