I haven’t written since the editing rounds required to get Fallen back to the market.
Sad statement. Yet, I’m not devastated. Sure, I want to
write. I crave it. But I also have to pay the bills, and my royalties weren’t
anywhere close to that kind of value. So, the day job – the day career – has been
the priority, and rightly so.
Some writers would give up sleep to write, getting up early
or staying up late. I’ve done that, and I’ve seen the difference of seven to
eight hours of sleep. Some writers go from working in an office job all day,
right to the laptop. I have arthritis in my neck and understand the benefits of
exercise, so I go from the office to the box, and I don’t regret a single
minute of it. Even when I pull muscles, feel like I’m going to vomit, or curse
the owners for avoiding the excessive cost of air conditioning.
Could I find the time? Sure, I’m working on it. I’m shooting
for quality time so the result will be a quality story, but for now I’ll settle
for time. Drop by my blog for more on that. I will warn you, however, that
since it seems that all I do is work, exercise, and sleep, you’re likely to get
more than a handful of health-related blog posts. For security reasons, I can’t
write about work, and sleep, well it’s not all that restful and my dreams don’t
make sense, even to me, so yes, what’s left is an attempt to eat clean while
still enjoying good food, and the challenge and tribulations of pushing my body
to its limits.
