Flexible Working Life

I just love this blog post from the brilliant Carrie and Danielle blog.

I read it and thought, yep, that’s so what I need to do.  I love all my writing work and there is nothing better than writing just for pleasure, but yes, it does need to make me money, it does need to be productive.

The tips that are in the blog post show how it can still be art whilst also being money making.  It is excellent advice to follow - especially the bit about how to ‘approach everything as a creative opportunity.’  Recently, I’ve been delving more into short story writing and I’ve suddenly realised that ideas are absolutely everywhere.  And this has kind of opened my eyes, that ideas are all over the place - not just for plot lines and characters, but for articles too.
I have since got a small notepad to carry round with me as well as my ‘inspiration box’ so I will never, (hopefully) dry out of ideas.

Must just remember to write down the ideas now.
