题目内容：
根据下面材料，回答题。I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do.Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income．I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance, which I hated．Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher．I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel．Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start--there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one thing nor the other．You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, "Well, I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there．" My confidence dived．Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then ! met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents．So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback．I felt a little hope that I might actually become a pub-lished writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next．problem was finding a publisher．After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal--that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck--of fate, really．When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract ( 合同 ) of the publisher--to be a published writer--is unbelievably rewarding (有回报的).
What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean? A．I was waiting for good fortune.
B．I was trying to find an admirable job.
C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.
D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.
