So... help.
I'm 25 years old, I work as an account executive for an ad agency in Los Angeles, I live right near the beach, I have my own car, I've made some wonderful friends out here and ... I'm utterly miserable!!!
I relocated to LA from Orlando 2 years ago. I love living out here, but I am so not happy with my job. I hate having to work 60 hours a week as the norm, I don't feel that I am paid enough and I have expressed these concerns to my employer. Nothing is changing anytime soon. I feel like it's time to move on after only 1.5 years in this position.
I've decided that writing is what I'm good at... as in some kind of journalism-magazine writing, perhaps. But how do I begin? Can I make enough money to live off? I really have very limited savings right now.
I think I should attempt to freelance a little and get a few clips under my belt. I've already approached my sorority's 1/4'ly mag and they told me they will keep me in mind as they need submissions. I want to check out some of the weekly rags in the area, too. But I want to be able to pitch an idea for a story to them... any ideas?
I CAN move somewhere else. There's nothing to tie me to LA. Any ideas for how to get out of this unhappy slump? I work such long hours and even though the people are nice here, I'm just so over it!
Thanks for letting me vent
