Just got off the phone with my previous employer, they rang to ask me back for three to four weeks work at full time hours. Though I am pleased to go back to work I have still not gotten any money from the jobcentre so have very little for bus fares for the next two weeks as I will have to work a weeks lying time. I know that in the end it will work out and my family will benefit from it but in the short term things are going to be very difficult. Not the easiest start to the New Year.
On a brighter note my artwork for the next book is almost complete. I still have to get ink though for my son to read over the story to find any mistakes. He doesn’t like to read off of the screen and feels he would make a better job of checking it for me if it is printed up. Well I can’t complain as he only wants to help me out to the best of his ability. He’s also giving me advice on my cover or rather how to get the best from the paint package I’m using to create it. I’m not sure why I’m having problems this time when I have managed in the past and only had my son adding the text for the title. Anyways it is getting there, hopefully I will finish it this weekend as after that I won’t have much time to do anything as the new position has a very early start seven am. This in turn means getting up at around half five in the morning so I can get the bus to get to work on time. That just means a lot of very early night though and little time for writing or any other pastimes. Still we do what we must to give our families as good a life as we can don’t we.
