A New Road

I am standing at a crossroads as my career as a library media teacher comes to an end. As I consider what I am going to do I recall a very famous poem called The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Questions going through my mind are keeping me up at night. Do I look for a job that will earn enough money to get by for a few years until I retire? Or do I follow my dream of bringing to life the characters that have flitted around in my head for the past twenty years? Am I ready to take a chance on my abiltiy to create the stories that I want to share?
