Absolutely everything.
Three years ago, I made the incredibly hard decision to change careers from dentist to writer. It was difficult because of the amount of uncertainty in this industry (and because of how much blood, sweat and tears—literally—went into my dental career), but I've never loved life more. I wake up every morning (okay, mid-morning) in disbelief that my real life is better than my dreams. I get to write every day, all day long. And I get to wear pajamas. I mean before, as a dentist, I could wear scrubs, which I used to lie to myself and say they were pajamas, but really they were just comfy clothes for your patients to spit and bleed on. Now, I am truly wearing pajamas to work.
