I am so grateful to have this opportunity to not have a traditional job and write. I am however very aware of the turbo speed with which time is passing and the need to not only complete my book but squeeze as many memories and fun into each day as possible.
It is tricky because you also need income (smile). Money may not buy happiness however it pays for the gas that does.
Recently, I have been considering the idea of seasonal jobs at various places. On paper it sounds good. They provide meals and housing and I would get to see new places and meet new people. I would have to downsize much more and would need a plan.
Plans are born out of my curiosity. I may need to investigate these possibilities further. I have a resource for these jobs, however I think they are targeted on the young. Perhaps that is because they don't know there is enthusiastic, experienced people available. I can write whereever I am.
Hmm, think my new "carrot" is to continue my goal to finish my current manuscript by May 4th and as the reward investigate what would be required to take the leap and shake up my lifestyle with seasonal jobs.
