Many folks have talked about how they have struggled to be productive with whats happening in the world today... me I've somehow embraced the captivity and decided I might as well not dwell on stuff I can't change and focus on something positive. To that end, I've managed to write 14... yep fourteen books this year. Not all of them are full-length novels I grant you and one is a children's book, another first for me, but I still feel I've taken covid-19 and shoved two fingers up at it.
That all being said, what I can't seem to do is switch my creative head off and that can be a little tiring when you want to take five and the boys in your head won't stop chatting...
So a question to you guys how do you switch off? Books? Music? Mindless TV?

I'm not sure what I expected when I took the decision to start to follow the dream I'd hidden inside me for decades, and I mean decades, but it wasn't for me to quit my job and write full time.

Oh, I think that thought was there and I was hopeful, but here I am four years later having jumped off into self-employment after having spent my whole life believing I needed to have a secure income...

But a wise person once said, we aren't here for a long time, so make sure and have a good time. I was a nurse and have worked in the caring profession for 35 years, I've witnessed death many times over, from the young to the old and one thing I didn't want when I skip off this mortal coil was to not have lived my best life.

So I've taken the leap of faith and put my trust in the universe. So lets see what happens :)
