Normally at this time, I’d be heading off to bed. However I’m just starting work.
With the in-laws arriving last week, an out of town family party on the weekend and more time having to be spent with the in-laws, my normal morning work patterns have been torn to shreds.
Truth be told, I haven’t had time to write.
A lot of people email me with the same problem. I always tell them to find time whenever they can – be it five minutes between lunch, an extra half hour in the morning or late at night. Just write.
I realise with my own lack of writing, it’s time for me to take my own advice.
With articles due, queries to submit, updates to make I don’t have time to not have the time. I have to find it – even at midnight.
So here I sit, when everyone else is quiet and gone and the only sound happening is the clicking of the keys. Yes, I’d rather be asleep but there’s work to do. If I don’t do it now, I’m not sure when because my regular schedule won’t happen until August. The work just can’t wait, and truthfully, either can I.
