Hello, readers!
This is more of a quick update than anything else, but I’m finally in a headspace for writing again and I’m so excited that I needed to share!
Since starting my new job role in the later part of last year, I’ve been a lot busier at work. This is something that I’ve been wrestling with; I never expected to progress in that job, I mostly just show up so I can support my family and pay for a house to write smut in.
Secretly though, I am passionate about certain aspects about my job, and I was offered an opportunity to have an impact in an area I really care about, so I took it. I’ve mentioned before that the role comes with longer hours, extra responsibility and a Masters level training course. As a result, my stress levels have been through the roof and my writing capabilities have been almost zero.
This weekend though, I submitted my first assignment, and it’s like my brain was suddenly freed of a massive weight. I had a clear direction for my story, and banged out 1,000 words in less than half hour. I’m now really excited about the way it’s going.
I also designed my entire kitchen remodel, new garden landscape, loft conversion and created a state-of-the-art Pokemon Zoo with Playmobil for my son. The last one was the most impressive.
What about you, dear readers? How are your ventures coming along?

Never been an issue, JCP.
Take care,
Strange

Congrats on the new work position. It sounds like you’re doing well. 1000 words in half an hour is SPEEDY; you must have been “in the zone.” Heh-hee, yes, a zoo from Playmobil is most impressive!

Thanks, it’s a balancing act for sure, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it. I’m generally a quick writer, bit I tend to bang out a few thousand words and then go back and edit or flesh it out as the story progresses. Thanks for commenting!
