If the ideal job I want does not have an ideal career path, then what do I do? Do I make it myself or should I give up and switch and niche up?

I've always wanted to be a fiction writer but when looking at professional jobs/career paths, writing is never there. I would love to make short stories more than anything but it doesn't seem like it's a job I could make a comfortable living off of.

Where do you get your inspiration when you are out of ideas?

When writer's block hits, what do you do to combat that? I find that oftentimes when I am writing, I'll run out of ideas for my story, abandon it, and start something new, only for the cycle to begin all over again.

Uncertanity in a career of an author

What is a career for someone who wants to be an author, but is afraid of the uncertainty of it? Careers have always been a difficult topic for me, also one that has changed over time. When I started thinking of a career as an author, I realized the talent but also love I had for something that holds no promises. The uncertainty of putting forth an idea you have put your heart and soul into and it never be published. I really want to write for a long time but have no idea if I should take the leap. To all the authors, what can I do to keep myself afloat while writing and/or how to extinguish these fears?

How can you improve your writing skills without attending any classes?

I've always wanted to be a writer. However, I've never considered making it my full-time job/career. At most, I would be a part-time writer. I have two main obstacles to writing: 1.) Time: normally, I would take workshops, free online classes, etc. to help improve my writing skills, but I struggle finding time. I am a full time student who works, and I have a very demanding dog (aka drama queen). 2.) I find my writing style boring. I can write a great paper for school, but usually on topics that tend to be more objective. I struggle finding/using my voice to connect with my reader. I would like to have more intrapersonal style. So, writers of Career Village, what do you suggest? Should I make it a goal to write something everyday (i.e. use writing prompts, etc.)? Or do you suggest something else?
