Do You Want to Write… and Nothing Else? #CSFG

Wouldn’t it be nice to do nothing else in life but write?

This week I’m over on the Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild blog talking about exactly that…

Bliss would be having writing as my only job… To get up in the morning and just go to work – aka write – then stay there all day, come home, eat dinner and relax.

Instead I’ve got these kids to grow, a creative writing / editing / social media consultancy to run, I teach too, and do pro bono work, and there’s a house to manage with dinners to cook and clothes to wash (wow – are my kids/husband as messy as everyone else’s??), and the juggling to earn money and keep the family happy just goes on and on…

Sound familiar? Find out what else sounds familiar, and what to do about it by reading the rest of that guest post over here.
