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.
The Chronicles of Girl at Play began in April 2001 as a way for me to chronicle my leaving a successful corporate position to become a self-employed writer.
