The last weeks I had to deal with two major problems. The first one was about finding the right rhythm to write or better said: combining writing with the other major activities of my life, namely teaching, traveling, blogging and photographing. Problem number two was about missing the feeling of freedom, especially while being on the road.

I am happy to report that I am doing a lot better! My weekends are devoted to excursions and then I enjoy the feeling of being on the road to the fullest. Even if it’s only one day every week, I feel fantastic afterwards and it keeps me going! And since my teaching schedule has suddenly changed, I now have more time in the evenings to do some writing. No, a lot of writing! All this means that I have solved my 2 biggest problems!

And I have noticed something else… On Monday, I had a bad day at work. There are simply days when you seem to be unable to teach a group something. They are tired or not feeling well or simply not in the mood. On top of that, I had a very bizarre conversation with my boss, not about my work, but about my personality. Anyway, once I was back at home and I had finished blogging, I started writing. And writing. And I felt better!

More than 7.000 words and counting! Full steam ahead!
