Finding a way
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…
