… earning a living one word at a time
I’m not talking about evenings or general days off here. I’m talking about proper holiday time.
This is something that has occurred to me lately, as I have a number of writing projects that are either started but stalled, or on the back burner. These are all projects that are for me – not for clients, but for me.
I was inspired to write this because as I am typing it I am looking out onto a lake filled with carp. I am sitting in an old converted Grade II listed water mill in Kent, England – and boy is it inspiring when it comes to writing!
You know that feeling of being sluggish? You’ve probably experienced it before – I know I have. And it can really play havoc with my writing too.
Now anyone who DOESN’T work from home is probably now thinking, ‘How on earth could there be? There’s no boss to dislike, no getting up at 7am to get ready and rush to catch a crowded train, oh and you’re probably doing a job you enjoy too. What disadvantages could there be about that?’
It’s been the most manic of times since I arrived back from holiday. You see, not only does this time of year bring with it lots of writing work, it also brings lots of ordering of Christmas products too.
Well hello all – I am back from holiday and sitting in my writer’s chair once again! And you know, although it’s always sad to finish a holiday and come back home to normality (especially after the great time we had), I’m ready and raring to go and it was good to start writing again.
Well it’s been a mad month and it’s set to continue, which is why I haven’t been blogging quite as much as I would have liked of late. That writing job was successfully completed, so much so that the client has ordered more (think I may be heading for a new specialist subject there!), and I have also taken on another job requiring the writing of 164 web pages.
It just occurred to me that I am fast approaching my six month anniversary of deciding to leave my full time job and write full time. My, the time has gone fast…
