Life Works Out!!

I admit it, I am just not great at multi-tasking when it comes to writing. When I write, I don't want to be thinking about a job or paying the bills or where to publish or what ever else is going on in my life!  I just want to climb in a little hole and write!

I am amazed and baffled by people who can do so many things at once including working on a novel.  I get forgetful, loose my train of thought and forget what comes next!  I realize I just cannot do it!  So what is the answer?  In this country where everything costs SO MUCH, I am not sure there is an answer for a single woman on her own!  I am just not sure at all!

One of the things that strikes me the most as I get older, is wondering when will my time come?  Can I afford savings?  NOPE  Can I afford to not work somewhere? NOPE. So what is the answer?

Knowing me, likely something similar to the fool Tarot card icon I have on here.  I will likely go walk off the end of a cliff and hope for the best because frankly, where does the best writing come from?  A life of playing it safe or one of taking risks?

How often have you heard the old saying, "if you want to be a good writer, then you first have to have lived!".  Perhaps some can get away without out it, but even my little murder mysteries and stories I work on come from scores of life experiences I never would have had to draw on if I had not taken risks through-out my life.

Do I have a reliable career or savings put aside for retirement?  Do I own my own home?  Car?  Nope!  One thing I have come to realize is that most people don't!  The bank owns it all and everyone is living one day to the next, one pay check to the next anyhow!  So perhaps I will find a "safe" way to do my thing, or perhaps not, however one thing I do know, is that somehow, life just keeps on working out!
