I work freelance in TV and I'm currently in the middle of an 84 hour week. This is a good thing as I am going away for 5 weeks and won't get paid while I am away. The work obviously uses up a lot of time when you factor in sleeping, eating, and toilet breaks as well.
While doing all this, I am also studying for a degree in English Language and Literature. Even though I have worked as a journalist on and off for 20 years, I intend to return to Asia at some point, where it is almost impossible to work full time without a degree these days.
The final thing is that it is absolutely freezing in Britain and our heating has just packed up. Consequently it is a struggle to focus and be creative in any way. What with all the shivering and impending frostbite.
I am currently working on some non-fiction travel stories. They are almost done but I feel it will enhance the writing if I am in a tropical country as the stories are set in Morocco, Thailand, and Australia.
After that, there are some more short fiction tales and two books in the pipeline.
So brace yourself.
