Time vs. money: it's always a trade-off, isn't it? Sometimes I feel like one of those late-medieval serfs I read about when I was in college, bound to the land and spending most of their days working for the lord, with only a little time to tend their own gardens. I don't know how accurate that picture is, since it's not a thing I've researched since, but it's always had a resonance for me. It certainly describes the part-time writer's life, where your creative work is always being interrupted by the insistent call of the Job. It's been particularly troublesome with the present book, which for various reasons is proving harder to write than my first three. So... I've decided to solve the problem.
As of December 31st, I'm retiring in order to write full time. I'm really looking forward to it!

Yay! What a brave (and brilliant!) decision!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it's particularly brave (I have a good pension plan), but it did remind me a bit of the first time I tried skydiving. That first step is the hard one...
