RIGHT TO WORK OR WORK TO WRITE?

So, I have been doing some soul searching these past few days. I am wondering if I should try my hand at writing. Writing has always been a love of mine. Doesn't take alot of effort on my part. I noticed the other day when I was writing that I had started at 9 am and I looked up and it was noon. I had sat for 3 hours and wrote a simple article. It felt like 20 minutes. As a young girl I used to spend hours at the park on a blanket or deep in the woods with pen and paper writing. I would write poems, short stories, lyrics, anything. Over my life I have had many people say to me "you should write a book". Family, friends, doctors and mere strangers just in conversation about life. So I have come to a crossroads. This all started on Hubpages to build my online business. Perhaps my business is to write.

Because of my cancer and LCH, I no longer work outside the home. I still have a right to work though if I so decide. Is that right to work the work of writing. Is that even work? They say in life once you find your niche, the thing you love, you can do that and it will not seem like work, I think of how much money pro athletes get paid to do what they love. Is that work, or were they just lucky and stood out from all the others and now get paid to do what they love? I have advised people over the years this very thing. Do what you love and the rest will fall in place. So, I am learning from myself now. I am my own best teacher. I have always said that one day I would write a book, but I would only do it after my mothers passing. Well, what if I die first and then never get to write my book? My childhood was not an easy one by all means, perhaps that is why I spent so much time at the park writing. It was a release for me, and continues to be today, The words come faster than I can type or write. Now I am on hubpages allowing strangers to see inside my soul, WOW!

Once you become sick (cancer or whatever) and you recieve Social Security, which I finally ended up getting (read my other articles on hubpages to understand that) you are limited when it comes to working. Remember you are ill and can no longer work that is the whole point of Social Security Disability. So is this work? Well if you get money for it it is. Do I have a right to work? Of course but,I dont work to write. I do it because I love it. Have I created an income from it? NO. Am I now considering it? YES. I have written various articles, on LuLu.com I wrote an article called , "A Breast Cancer Notification". People want to know gorry details about stuff, but they never have the nerve to ask, and I understand that. So I decided to put the information out there about how I was notified and how I then notified my family and friends. I went in to detail about each persons reaction to the news. I am curious after writing this article what the respone will be. I will remain open minded and weigh all the facts and opinions. Staying true and positive to myself and others is all that really matters. I look forward to reading the comments I will get from this. Please give me your input I love corrective critisisim, so feel free to give it to me. Do I have the right to work at working to write?
