I Don’t Have Enough Time to Write As It Is…
on August 17, 2012 at 9:30 amSo, I just got a job.
Being “retired” has had its benefits. Among them is NOT adding to an already meager income, however.
Despite having what some would call limitless time to write (this is a fallacy, my friends; there is no such thing), I’ve found myself way too busy to get the writing done that I feel needs completion. So, it only makes sense that I’d take on a job that will eat up even more of my time.
So, starting next month I’ll be teaching school for an “After School Activities” company here in Fremont. I’ll be teaching computers, including basic use, research for homework, applications, and more importantly Internet and Social Networking security. I’ll also be teaching public speaking. I’m frankly delighted. I’ve always loved teaching, and this part-time position pays pretty well, too. How can I lose.
What? Time to write?
Oh, yeah. That.
Well, they say that the best way to get something done is to give it to someone who is already too busy.
I guess we’ll see.
Oh, yeah… I’m also starting to work with a professional editor over a 7-week course for my own writing.
Imagine that.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio... and isn't it time you experienced some of them?
Well done, Richard. Glad you’re both a teacher and a student. You may save some time in editing in the long run…..
Heh! Wouldn’t that be nice! ))
Way to give back to the community! I find the more I have on my plate (and trust me, it’s pretty full) the more focused I am during writing sessions. That said, I can’t wait for the kiddos to head off to school in a few weeks.
Thanks, Jodi. I’m looking forward to it. Much the same as you are looking forward to a bit of free time to write. ))
