¦ dialling in from the Sky Bunker ¦
It's Monday and Jo's just left for work. I'll be doing that soon. Which is frustrating because I'm 25% into Yellow Dawn 2nd edition and what I want is to be able get on and finish it; however, I've spent the past 11 months on a creative bliss-trip, living on my savings...and they're nearly gone...and completing several major pieces. So I'm pulling a sour face (childish) because I'm being forced to head out from my cave and go find a job.
Had an interesting conversation with Jo last night about money. We had totally different attitudes to what money is for. In my world, if I get a lump sum, that means the ability to step out of the 9-5 distraction, and be free to spend serious lengths of time completing creative projects. In other words, the money gets burned up providing living expenses whilst I write / create.
Such a lump sum is not on the horizon right now so the conversation was hypothetical.
Which leads me to my internal acknowledgement of return on investment. I had a conversation with a friend last week about the amount of my life I've dedicated to my writing. Not just time, but sweat and tears. I worked out that to break even on my investment so far, my creative products need to net me 1.2 Million GBP. The sooner this starts coming in the happier I'll be. *smiles*
Anyways, thanks for reading, and...ahem, don't ignore the donations box by the door. *cheeky grin*
