This is certainly a difficult road to choose, the one of building your own business versus working for someone else. Little sleep, little money, and lots of effort in networking to build a client base. Most of my real writing work comes very late at night and into the early morning hours. The world is sleeping, including my dog, and I get to tap tap away on the keyboard, correcting, proofreading, and offering editing comments to clients who are fast asleep.
I have spent little time lately on my fiction writing while I am busy reading and editing for others. However, I still enjoy what I do very much. The creativity involved allows for more of my unique qualities to shine. I go out and take photographs when the sun comes up, or late at night when shadows prevail. My photographs are liked for some book cover designs and that is also a thrilling passion to fulfill. Creation of art and meaningful words will likely always fill up my heart, no matter how late I work, or how few clients I have, the words will still fill my journals every night.
