Making my living as a writer which is also my creative passion has definitely been a balancing act and the section about the value of getting a non-writing job to pay the bills resonates. It usually hasn’t been right for me to do but at times it has. Flexibility and creativity around how we keep working and writing is key.

Great post! I freelance as a content writer, which I find gives me time to work on personal writing projects. However, I need to get out and about whenever I want a bit of inspiration - and I’ve learned to treat my job as completely separate to any writing I do for fun. I think job titles are a tricky issue - how can you tell someone about everything you do in just one title? :) thank you for sharing
