Okay, now that just ruined everything. Suddenly I don’t have time for everything.
Here’s where time management kicks in. You have to become disciplined for all this. There’s only so much writing time in the day until i’m a success, and can leave my job and move to Woonsocket or Exeter or Coventry or Foster/Glocester, or Jamestown or Newport. Or Portsmouth or Tiverton or Little Compton.
THEN I’ll have 8 hours a day I can write, and things will be great. I can now free up 8 hours a day, not having to do my day job any more.
And of course, by then… i won’t need to read all that!
