I just need to figure out how to carve out more time to pursue my varied interests. A thirst for knowledge is a good thing, especially for a writer.

I agree with you. I've seen many people classify themselves as "experts" but they seem to be the only ones saying that. ;-) It takes a lot of studying there are a few subjects that I know very well. I've studied them for years and have taking courses or am continuing my education. Although I rarely refer to myself as an "expert" I do receive a lot of referrals from people who view me as an expert in a few fields. I'm like you I'm a jack of many trades. It didn't happen overnight it took time. Whatever I'm interested I learn as much as I possibly can about the topic. That requires a lot of studying. I've an insatiable thirst for knowledge and that has really helped me immensely. Again, you’ve nailed it with this post. I agree with you.
