[Maritime Q-Scout]

hmmmm, I'd say go for it.

You can still work on the book in your spare time (if you have any). If this is the dream job why give it up? You'll still be living in Calgary (apart from training in TO) and if you're too stressed, if things get you down, thank them for the opportunity, and go back to writing.

Relax, have fun, and enjoy the new job
