Blog Tour Finale

Hi Everyone, I've been working all weekend to wrap up a huge freelance project, but I don't want you to miss out on the Ethnic Knitting Discovery blog tour finale! I ended up the tour at FEAST, the blog of my friend and neighbor Rosemary Carstens.

Rosemary Carstens
Rosemary and I met at a writing critique group a few years ago and discovered that we live around the corner from each other. Rosemary is the author of Dream Rider, an adventure memoir about her experiences as a women motor cycle rider in America. She's also the editor of FEAST, an e-newsletter about books, art, film, food, and travel. What could be more fun?

I wrote a guest post for Rosemary's new blog about how we can follow our passions and how to fund those dreams with work that's not always as much fun as we'd like it to be! Working on my books is what I want to do with all of my time, and I do make some money from book sales. But it's not enough to pay the bills! I have to constantly remind myself why I do my other work. It's to fund my dreams. To pay for my travel. To buy myself time off. To have a house with an office so I can work at home.

Here's hoping all your dreams are realised! Although, and speaking from experience here, having that "work from set up" is not always roses. Real life and contracts and deadlines and phone calls and a host of other distractions and necessary duties still get in the way of the pursuits that we truly wish to fill our moments (like working on our books, knitting, family, etc.). The work never leaves and is always there and tends to occupy even the wee moments of the am's (the sound of the keyboard echoing throughout the house at 3am is not unusual in my household!).

Thanks Bonnie. I've been working at home for about 8 years. You are exactly right. Now I have to go out to get any writing done! :-) However with this job, I only work during the day hours. I have worked for this company before, so I know what I'm getting into!
