I love my job – it’s fulfilling and worthwhile and even in the COVID-19 madness I still enjoy it. But…
It can be pretty consuming. It’s just creative enough to use my creative energies and demands just enough writing that it uses up my writing energy and at the end of the day I often just want to watch superhero movies and drool into my nap in order to recover.
That might be why things like photography have taken a front seat as opposed to novel writing over the last couple years. I just need to summon a few minutes of that creative spark.
At some point, my job is supposed to get less time consuming, until then I’ll try to keep finding a way to keep the creative life going.
