Writing and the real world

Writing isn't easy. Neither is the, apparently, simple task of living. Really, it's a never ending circle that leads you nowhere. Write a book. Agree to extra shifts at work to earn extra money to publish and promote the book. Earn a few hundred dollars from the sale of your book. Work extra shifts to promote again. Bookbub approves your free promotion. OMG! 14000 downloads. (Rubs hands together in glee). However they are 14000 FREE downloads. Work extra shifts for more promotion. Write another book - however, you are working so much that you don't have time to write. And around and around it goes. I'm off to write a book...or am I off to do extra shifts? Oh...who knows. By the end of either I'll have no money 😂😂😂 Take care Kiss xxxx

There, he gives her an old red-leather bound book, and in the middle of a stormy Highland night she is drawn into its pages and transported ...
Kiss Carson Blog - 2.0 Well...Here I am, ready to start again. I have deleted all my previous posts - well, it had been two years since I last blogged. The struggle to stay centered, and focused, on my writing is ever present. My mind wanders. My finances demand the influx of a paid job (the same job I've had for 15 years). My state of being fluctuates constantly. I close my office door and walk by day after day pretending it doesn't exist. There is no computer in there. There are no manuscripts that need completing. I don't look at my Facebook. I don't check my emails. I am not really a writer. BUT! I am a writer. And I have fans out there in cyberspace. SUPER FANS - according to my writer friends, and these super fans are waiting for a new book from me. I receive emails from these lovely people asking when, and I give them a date. I give myself a well needed ego boost and i sit down, writing, writing, writing. Then life kicks in again. I close my office do...
