Old, decrepit – mind going – arghhh. I’ve been down – I am finding it hard to sort myself out. OK the government pays me some money not to teach – they call it a retirement pension.
I sort of feel that I should be trying to get work when at the back of my mind – I don’t want to – its only stupid commitments that hold me back. I really get little enjoyment out of teaching and I really don’t want to do some mundane clerical job in the council or as a temp – that’s if they would employ me.
So I enjoy writing – even getting together a training package was more satisfying than the delivery. So I have decided to try and become a proper writer. I have started reviewing my ideas. I plan to organise myself so that I write a thousand marketable words a day – either articles or chapters of a book.
I am also starting to clear the decks – getting rid of unnecessary junk – deciding what commitments I want – what I don’t want – and what I don’t need.
