A THOUGHT ON BALANCE

A nice, original article on how I balance my writing with my food service job...

In case that those of you who are new to the Writer’s Café for the first time (as well as those who have missed something), I just want to share something with you; I am indeed a writer, but I also work as a food service worker at a company called Sodexo for something called ServiceSource, at the Dover Air Force Base in Dover Delaware. Whenever I find the time, I write something after an idea strikes in my head.
     I try to balance my writing and my food service job for as much as I can. When things get complicated at my food service job, then I hold off my writing until another time, or whenever I could find the time to do so. Now, on Saturdays, I try and find whatever time I could have for me to write as much things as I like as possible; I try to do so to, but then I would get bothered by interruptions by my uncle, who wanted me to do things instead such as cleaning my room. I could only wish that I can find as much more time to write.
     We are in the 3^rd month of 2020, and already I have my goals in place for what I would write, as well as wanting to read something; Speaking of which, I had just begun my Goodreads Writing Challenge, and already I had just begun reading my 6^th book! (I have already read the first 5 books so far…) Anyway, I do not have any idea of what the next books that I would read next, but what I would like to tell you is this: Reading does help you write, and believe me, reading has sure been a helpful activity for me. 

     Now, I was in the middle of working on my next eBook, but with all the news about the Coronavirus reaching the world and all of that, I think I’d better put it off for now. I plan to restart my production on my eBook project again once this whole Coronavirus thing is settled. In the meantime, I have already published my new eBook, an Amazon Kindle Edition book called A Trio of Tales & Other Stories to Delight; Now, A Trio of Tales is an anthology of three 3-chapter tales, all written by yours truly, while also featuring two additional tales. And what makes this Kindle book special is that it features Zentangle®-inspired illustrations drawn by me! A Trio of Tales & Other Stories to Delight is available now from the Amazon Kindle Store; to order a digital copy, please go to this link right here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WKGJGMF
     And while we are still on the subject on eBooks…Back in August of 2018, I have written and published an eBook that includes illustrations that I have drawn a decade ago; My eBook is called The Sea Centaur, and it is adapted from and inspired by the fairy tale The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. Now, I have given the cover of this eBook quite a makeover, and if you would like to check it out, as well as like to purchase your very own digital copy of it, then go to this link right here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G8FZ1T4
     Well, I’d better get back to my balancing, as well as my goals…
