I listened to Dido all the way home… I needed something soothing to help me think.
I had just made a decision to quit my job. I really don’t think I’m caught out for that line of writing, and it will be sad to remain there and pretend I’m having a ball.
And to think a zillion and one people live that way…hmmm!
Anyway, I quickly informed my boss and a couple of colleagues so that I don’t get to change my mind after sleeping over it.
So it’s settled, I am leaving. What a relief!
So what next for me? I love writing. So I’m going to do a bit of freelancing – no strings attached per se. And then I want to try my hands on other stuff… and then write another book. This time, a full novel.
Life is too short. I made a promise to myself to enjoy what I do, and if it ever fizzles out, move on.
The place was good, but I grew weary of a lot of things. I’m not going to go into all of that here.
So, I’m gonna be broke for a while, play chess with hubby more often, and dance with my girls a lot more. Heee! Haaa!
I’ve never been one to give a damn. The things that usually get people screaming, only leaves me with a questioning crease on my forehead.
I love my guts!

Congrats on your new book...it sure will have a place of honour in my bookshelf!!!
Does that mean your not writing/ editing for Genevieve anymore? I enjoyed your articles...
However, I'm glad you have resolved to only do the things you enjoy. Excellence only comes from passion..and if the passion you have for a particular line of work fizzles out then it's time to move on. I love your guts too:-)

Well, I hope you have thought it through and more importantly, put it to GOD.
However, it goes do what's best for you.

Way to go lady! I have never been a supporter of staying at a job you hate! I quit all my jobs when they became like burdens, which was what made me realise i am not cut out for a 9-5
