Life on the Road

I don’t post very often about my work, because my clients like discretion. When you’re trusting a writer with your unreleased products and specifications, it’s a good policy not to “talk shop” in your blog. And I’m working on a project right now that requires me to be a little discreet with my own intellectual property, to keep the secret from getting out too soon.

On the one hand, I feel like things are “slow” because, well, I don’t have a lot of money coming in. On the other hand, I’m working on four major writing projects, including this blog.  And here we come to the crux of the problem with financial freedom and simple lifestyles: what do you do when you’re there?

I’m not there, not by a long shot, but we’ve reached a point now where we’re able to take a bit of a breather and pursue less money-intensive activities. When your adult working life has been driven by market forces, finding opportunities that do not devalue your skills while still celebrating the freedom of your creativity…. that’s hard to do!

Right now, I’m just going to focus on the four big projects on my plate. One is scheduled to launch in September. One in January. This blog is ongoing and already live. The fourth is a test project to help me build some skills for other potential projects coming in. November is spent doing NaNoWriMo, and I won’t be giving that up.

Whew! I guess things aren’t so light around here after all!
