I work all night ...I'm a writer and I'm OK. I work all night and saw wood all day. <br /><br />The advantage of being a self-employed writer is that you can sleepy when you're sleepy and work when you're "worky". <br /><br />At times in the past, the muse would have me working 60 or 70 hours in a row, then abandon me for a week or two. In as much as writing is something that chose me, rather than me choosing it, it seems silly to try to force it into a 5-day 40-hour schedule. <br /><br />And I never worried, feeling instead that if the muse leaves me for good, so much the better: it would leave me free to do <i>honest</i> work, and earn a far better income.Dr. Harl Deloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17424071404764987713noreply@blogger.com
