That line between self-care, and getting things done is a very fine one. I think I’ve got the hang of it and then find out that no, I really haven’t.
I don’t work 9-5, and have 2 day shifts at either end of my day job week, with three late nights in between. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’m not going to achieve anything besides going to work on those early starts, especially as I often have things on in the evenings on those days, and that on the 8.30pm finish I’m going to be too tired to do much by the time I get home.
I’ve been trying to work on writing things related to my work in the mornings of the other days, and the admin side of things in the evenings. The clear split seems to be working, except some weeks I’m catching my tail more than I should be trying to play catch up on admin. So obviously I still haven’t got it quite right.
Or perhaps I’m trying to do too much? Of course, there’s also the issue of trying to juggle two full time jobs, and everything life likes to throw my way.
I’d be very open to suggestions to how you guys manage to get that balance right, though I suspect it’s something everyone’s constantly working on.
During the last month, I did, however, get through the read through of the 2nd edition of Comes a Horseman, and sent it to my lovely editor, and Shades of Sepia and Winter Duet are now out in paperback. The links I’ve given are for Amazon, but I’ve published wide so you should be able to buy them from your preferred paperback retailer.
I’ve also joined a fabulous MM Hurt/Comfort Promotion and Shadowboxing, Book 1 of my WWII Echoes Rising series, is on sale as part of it. With book 3 coming out soon, this is a great opportunity to pick up the 1st book for a bit less.
30 authors have come together for a wonderful selection of MM Hurt/Comfort books. The promo runs from the 16th – 30th April.
