I write during the winter months; when I'm laid off from paving. During the summer, I think about what I have written, analyze my characters and my story, and visualize where it will go when I can write again. Its what keeps me going when sweat is pouring out of me in the hot sun standing on 400 degree blacktop wondering why the hell I do this for a living.
Whats your day job? What are your dreams?
@DanIsWriting I work as a paper carrier, delivering for several routes, It may not seem like much, but there's a lot of movement and the bundles of papers can get exceedingly heavy. It's also every day. I'm hoping one day for my books and art to really take off so I can finally get the rest I need.
@LissaGromley Yeah, same. On paper, I just drive around all day in a truck, but its 14 hours a day, its not easy, and it takes its toll. I'm ready for winter, I can say that for sure.
@DanIsWriting I can imagine how hard it is to work in the summer months doing pavement. I live behind a paving company and often see them hard at work in the summer time.
