Careful what you wish for

I wished for work, as I had none. Now I have plenty.

I now wish for more time to do my creative writing.

Ah, well. I shall have to work quickly on my work writing to give myself time for the stuff that I love, the non-work writing.

I wish my non-work writing would transform into being what I do for work writing. Better get on with writing the novel, eh?

  1. I still think that Virginia Woolf's idea is good for our times. "A room of one's own" and £500 (equivalent in today's money) a year. And vigour, of course.

  2. Well, I hope your new wish -- "my non-work writing would transform into being what I do for work writing" -- comes true.

    Happy January.

  3. Signs, yes, I agree. That would be good (I would add 'a book deal' to her list)...

  6. Thanks, Sameera. I prefer being busy – when I have lots to do, I get far more done than if I have a few things to do. It's odd. I think I thrive on deadlines!

    Ah, my novel... Well, I will have to dedicate some time to it or it will forever remain a dream.

    Glad 2008 is going well for you. I can't complain so far (touch a nice big oak tree)!
