I want to get a job in writing... How do I do it?

I feel like my stories are creative though and with the right people behind me I feel like I could do something... I mean something good, not even good, something great.

I know that it's going to be hard but I can't do a 9 to 5 because I've done that up to now and I feel completely unfulfilled. I need to do something that makes me happy and writing does.

I feel like my stories that I have to write don't have a genre but they do have a niche and people will DEFINITELY connect to it, I know that it may not be a big crowd drawer but it will definitely get some people interested. I just don't know what to do... All these things that require art and intuition are hard to get into, I'm willing to fight but I need to know how to get into it. That's what I'm questioning.

Your comment, as helpful as it is makes me feel like I'm being stupid for even thinking that I stand a chance.
