A woman stands at the railing of a boat. She stares out at the sea, its surface gently ruffled by the breeze. She has been successful in so many ways: she works as a biologist in the governments fisheries department, she is the author of a book about the sea, and she has a close and loving family. But shes not entirely satisfied. She has always dreamed of being a full-time writer, yet publishing her first book a few years earlier left her disillusioned with writing books. Her education is in marine science, and her passions are birds and bird-watching, the ocean and shoreline exploring, the natural world and nature writing. What should her next move be? Whats in her future?
