continue until it’s a good time. My time is my
own. I don’t have to do what someone else tells
me. That’s probably the biggest advantage.
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
everything. So, I get up at the same time each day
and make sure that I’m sitting at my computer by
8:30. I try to write the same number of words
every day too and usually I do.
One of the disadvantages of working from
home is that people don’t think that I’m doing a
‘real’ job. People call me for a chat or come for a
coffee and I have to be very strict with them and
tell them that they mustn’t interrupt me! Another
difficulty is if 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 do. So, I have to hope
that people will continue to buy my books and that
I continue to have good ideas!
