Hi Adrienne,
The quality of patience is not something which is usually developed in the space of a couple of weeks, months or even years, but is gradually cultivated over one or more lifetimes. If you continue to relax and have enough faith that your inner guidance and wisdom will not fail you (which is always much easier said than done and you maintain this positive attitude towards the challenges placed in your path, then you should be assured that you will eventually arrive at your destination.
It has been said many times by those who are much wiser than the both of us that life is as much about the process as it is about it's destination, and developing such positive and life affirming personal qualities such as faith and patience are in many ways both a test of your inner strength of character and determination to keep going in spite of all the visible evidence appearing to point in the opposite direction.
But anyone who tries to tell you that this will be easy and that the road will be without it's obstacles placed in your path precisely to help you to exercise your spiritual muscles is either a fool or is alternately attempting to put one over you in order to make you feel that you are obliged to them and should therefore give them both your unquestioning loyalty and repeatedly line their palms with silver in appreciation for the great favor they only seem to have done for you by making you see the error of your ways before it was too late.
I am it should go without saying (but I am going to say it anyway) not trying to minimize in the least the frustration and disappointment that you potentially face in order to get your career as a writer to the point that it will be both satisfying and financially rewarding enough to be able to come up to what with due respect are sometimes I feel your unrealistically high expectations that the path before you would be anything but as long and winding as you have already found it.
Now as to your question about exactly when you might arrive at your chosen destination to become it is assumed a successful author including in a financial sense, no psychic reading either can or should ever tell you this, as it is entirely up to you to decide for yourself when you have arrived at where you have been heading for so long. It is therefore not something which can be measured according to the clock, as psychological and chronological time rarely if ever pass at the same rate.
You should already know that when you are fearfully anticipating an event and dreading the day it will happen that time often seems to pass at a highly accelerated rate, and the event is quickly upon you before you can hardly realize that it is finally happening. But if on the other hand you are looking towards an event with positive anticipation of the joys of getting there (as you are doing with your career ambitions as a writer), time seems to pass at a snail rate and seems to stretch on until an eternity.
So what your reading appears to be telling you in no uncertain terms is that the next step for you to take on your journey towards developing the qualities which you will definitely need if you are going to give yourself an above average chance of lasting the course as a developing writer is to learn to measure the passage of time between where you are now and where you are heading as an author more by your own inner clock rather than continuing to worry yourself needlessly about what the outer clock which almost everyone else follows might be telling you is the time. You will know when you have arrived at your destination not by what the world's clock says but through your own feelings of inner contentment and satisfaction for coming up to your own expectations as to what being a successful author is to you.
But if you set your expectations unrealistically high and try to force the process along according to either your own or somebody else's outer time schedule, then effectively you are unintentionally setting yourself up for a life of waiting for something which can never happen by your own way of measuring your progress.
In other words, if you are waiting for the day when you will be completely satisfied that you have gone about as far as you feel a person can as a writer and know everything there is to learn about your art then you are finished. It seems to be a requirement of highly creative people such as yourself to always feel the burning need to get that much better at what they are doing and to learn even more about how to become even better at doing it.
It appears that without this feeling of not always having further to go or more to learn to motivate them, a writer just as with any other artist may decide that their life no longer serves any useful purpose. Becoming a more and more successful writer according to their own definition instead of someone else's has become by then such a big part of what they are as a person and the pursuit of their goals as a writer have become such a big part of their purpose for being here, that a life where all of their goals are felt to have already been reached is a life no longer felt to be worth living.
It seems to be a cross that all creative people must bear throughout their entire life, never to feel completely satisfied as either an artist or as a whole person. There must always be for them higher goals to work towards and new and more distant destinations to set their inner compasses to, or there is no longer to them anything worth keeping them here on Earth?

| How will the path I'm on now (at home customer service agent) lead me to my goal? |
As a home customer service agent, you will be learning more about both other people and yourself. This will not only I feel make you a much more effective writer and much more in touch with the people you are writing to and for (the people who will hopefully want to buy and read your books), as well as broadening your horizons and making you a much more well rounded person overall.
No life experience is ever wasted, when it comes to us developing more fully as both a spiritual and human being?
Love, Light and Peace to you and your family from me and mine,
