Heather, Here's my suggestion...get some free lance work under your belt and out there with income coming in and then ask about going part time. You need to have some income coming in from "another source" as a cushion until you are making more in that department. It takes time to make a name for yourself and gain some followers who want to read your articles. You don't want to stretch yourself too thin when it comes to money for your finances, etc.
I think it's a good idea...but you've got to have a monetary cushion before jumping off the pier.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
