So the question is....What jobs have you done? Or are doing? So that you can write and and keep on writing to one day hopefully become successful. Or have you always been successful with your writing and have been one of the few lucky ones. I have been thinking a lot recently on what I have to do for work and to ensure I can provide for my family, though nothing would make me happier then to see my book published for you all to see it.
I am currently helping out in a kitchen at a local National Trust for Scotland site and although the money is reasonable and I do feel as though I am contributing to the site, there is a part of me that feels as though I am dying inside without the prospect of a long term career. Something to show to my daughter and any future children I may or may not have of the hard work I have put into my life. For those that have read the story of my life for the past few years in "Shingles to ME" you will know that I once did have a successful career in I.T but this was sadly taken away from me due to my illness. Now living in the Highlands of Scotland I am struggling to get back into that career as it is not as it once was when I started all those years ago, with new cloud technologies available there is little need for someone like myself unless I live somewhere like London. I have tried running my own business on multiple different areas but all have been unsuccessful and between my writing and working in the kitchen I am also studying part time in the field of History in the hope that one day I can work in that field. But whether it is in History or in the work of my books and my blogs we all need a successful career to show that we have made something from our lives, something to proud of that we can show our children how best to live a life and not just sit on our sofas wasting away.
I as always welcome your feedback and comments and would be interested to hear in how you all survive.
Take care
David
