A Writer’s Life
When I was young, I dreamt about being a famous writer and now I am! I know I’m a very lucky person. I love my life and I love my work. Like most other writers, I work from home. I have a small office in the garden and every day I spend at least five hours there, doing my writing. My dog sits beside me and all around me the garden is peaceful. When I want to have a break for lunch, I stop, but if I’m particularly interested in what I’m writing, I will continue until it’s a good time to stop. My time is my own thing. I don’t have to do what someone else tells me. That’s probably the biggest advantage of being a writer.
However, it’s not quite as easy as it seems. No, I don’t have to get up early and travel a long distance to work, but I have to make sure that I follow a routine or I would never manage to do anything. So, I get up at the same time each day and make sure that I’m sitting at the computer by 8:30. I also try to write the same number of words every day and usually manage to do this.
One of the disadvantages of working from home is that people don’t think that I’m doing a ‘real’ job. They call me for a chat or come round for a coffee so I have to be very strict with them and tell them that they mustn’t interrupt me! Another difficulty is when I don’t have any ideas. This happens quite often! There’s no one to tell me what I should or shouldn’t write. It’s all in my head and if I can’t think of anything, then I can’t write and I have to go for a walk with the dog or listen to some music to give my brain a rest. After a break like this, I can usually start writing again.
I can’t imagine having another job. If I didn’t write, I don’t know what I’d be doing. So, I really hope that people will continue to buy my books and that I will continue to come up with some good ideas!
