I thought I should have a brief mention of what it is like to run your own home eneterprise. Needless to say, you need to be dedicated as there is only yourself to motivate and get work done.
I am enjoying what I am doing at present. It is a very nice feeling to be doing something I love and getting paid to do it. It is also lovely to be giving something back, so to speak. The feeling you get when somebody takes the time to write to you and let you know that they have enjoyed your poem, or that their recipient was so touched that they keep on mentioning it, is just an absolute joy. That said though, I am looking for new and exciting ways to use my talents. Answers on a postcard please!
There is also the issue of keeping a work/home balance when the two become intertwined. I found it very easy to slip into working 16-20 hours a day, just because I could. But of course that is not sustainable long term. I have worked hard to find some dedicated time for my enterprise whilst still leaving time for the children. I think the key is to pace yourself, and prioritise those tasks you need to do against the ones you would like to do.
Long may the harmonious balance last!
For example, today is a glorious sunny day, I am looking out over the hills for inspiration while my children play happily outdoors. Heaven!
