Melany the Academic Writer

First published on the old blog May 2020

I have decided to focus on academic writing.

I quit content writing with the realization that life is too short to do things that do not bring you the most happiness.

I have doubts, oh  I have doubts.

I am fearful that I am putting all my eggs in one basket.

I have an irrational fear that if I specialize in this field I might find myself unemployed in the future.

But I have to take the leap.

Writing academic papers is my life.

it gives me joy.

And I should embrace it.

Life in COVID-19 lockdown would not have been bearable if I did not have this work to sustain me.

I have to get a move on and accept who I am, what I want to do, and what gives my life purpose.
