Romance writer Lucy Score tried many jobs before finding her calling. She was a yoga instructor and a bartender, a journalist and a marketer, “and I kept getting fired,” she says. Eventually, it started to get to her: “Everybody else was doing their job. They were married, they had their kids, and they were doing all of the right things in the right order. I was just floundering around like I missed that day in high school. You know, I wasn’t there for the important ‘this is how you adult’ lesson.”
