Back To Normal?
What is normal anyway? I guess it’s back to my routine and back to what I am used to doing. What am I used to doing? I guess again it’s back to what I want to do and when I want to do it. With certain people in your life, they fit into your life, while others create obstructions and hurdles.
What I am used to doing is doing what I like. This has not come as a surprise to anyone. As long as your favorite thing is not only lounging on the couch, I think you will be ok. I love to write, and hope it pays off is one thing, but I also do a ton of social media and a ton of free stuff as a charity as I look at it. I pick and choose who I want to work with and not work with and that makes a difference.
So, What Do I Do?
I am looking forward to the day when I can sit down and write again. When I was living in Jakarta and had a maid, who cooked, cleaned, and took care of everything, I wrote and had a perfect schedule. Currently, this is what I am missing.
My maid knew my schedule, it was tennis every other day or so. My time to wake, coffee, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were like clockwork. and I could write and write and write. Right now, I am a bit all over the place, but such is life. Maybe one day I can figure out how to find my space and balance once more.
I am still trying to find a space where I can place my things and have my head clear and then write. It’s been too much of launching books and trying to find the time to write besides the blog. Maybe at one given time, the blog will have to pause so I can focus on writing another book. Not sure if I can swing both and focus on both. So, for now…
A Place to Find
Finding a place to chill and live while working is not easy. In my headspace, I need a view. I need to be able to see and that opens my mind. So far, I am aching to be back in the Jimbaran or Uluwatu area to open my mind. However, I found Amed to be an amazing place as well to hide away. Maybe I am in search of something that does not exist. Maybe I need to bury my head in my laptop and just go as I did before. Yes, but before I had a south-facing apartment overlooking Jakarta. Meaning I never got direct sun, it just floated over me; and my window never got too hot. So, every time I think of writing another book it comes down to my space. For now, back to normal means, I would love to write again and have all the rest taken care of by someone else. For now, I need to market the books and then find my space before I am back to normal.
