The weeks are dropping past so quickly. Suddenly, I have a regular note-taking gig and another commitment that, between them, take up three days of the week. I've been making more of an effort to protect my writing time, as well, so that gets a dedicated day. Add in admin (both work-related and just life-related) and I'm not left with a huge amount of time for anything else. Self-employment often goes in waves like this; I'm not too bothered, but a longer break would be nice. Feeling fortunate that Christmas is on the way.
