Like most other writers, I work from home. I have a small
office in the garden and every day I spend at least five

hours there, writing. My dog sits beside me and all round
me the garden is peaceful. When I want to break for lunch,
I stop, but if I’m particularly interested in what I’m writing,

I continue until it’s a good time. I organise my time myself.
I don’t have to do what someone else tells me. That’s
probably the biggest advantage.

However, it’s not quite as easy as it seems. No, I don’t have
to get up early and travel a long distance to work, but
I have to make sure that I follow a routine or I would never
manage to do everything. So, I get up at the same time
6m3
each day and make sure that I’m sitting at my computer

by 8:30. I try to write the same number of words every day

too, and usually I do.

One of the disadvantages of working from home is that
people don’t think that I’m doing a ‘real’ job. People call
me for a chat or come for a coffee and I have to be very
strict with them and tell them that they mustn’t interrupt
a4c
me! Another difficulty is if I don’t have any ideas. This
happens quite often! There’s no one to tell me what
I should or shouldn’t write. It’s all in my head and if I can’t
think of anything, then I can’t write and I have to go for
M4

a walk with the dog or listen to some music to give my

brain a rest. After a break like this, I can usually start
writing again.

I can’t imagine having another job. If I didn’t write, I don’t

know what I’d do. So, I have to hope that people will
continue to buy my books and that I continue to have
good ideas!
