The idea of freelancing as a writer is good in theory. You can do writing work and write your novel but the reality for me was quite different. To make the money required for living, I had to do good quality jobs with clients who were prepared to pay good amounts of money and it …
Hello again, How was the weekend? Are you okay? You know I’m here if you need someone to listen. I might not have the right words but my ears are very able and clear, so anytime you want to unload, I can carry it for a while for you. I have been doing a lot …
Hello there, How is your week looking? Are you okay? I was feeling what you felt the other day. It was heavy, I know. I want to remind you that you are strong for carrying it and that you are allowed to put it down from time to time. Sometimes the uncertainty of what is …
