Writing And The Mixed Blessing Of A Day Job | The Creative Penn
This is a great post by Joanna Penn about combining a day job with other projects in the evening. It’s a balancing act I know only too well - keeping motivated and on track is such a difficult thing to do.
I picked this quote because it rings true with me. I write better, or at least I write more productively, when I have a deadline of some sort. It’s strange how when the pressure is on, we always seem to find the words.
In other news, Joanna has interviewed me for her blog. More about that when it’s published.
