For most of my life I can remember receiving praise for my writing, however homework assignments throughout high school, research papers in university, professional texts and academic articles in my full time position have all been legitimately well received.
I never thought much of it, until I realized one day how consumed I am while I write.
The hobby genuinely engages me, and time flies by separate from a single moment of boredom. I love playing with wording to achieve an interesting voice and deliver the document flow, and I can get lost in this hobby for hours on end. Since then, I’ve been pursuing writing and editing positions with a passion, and hope to get into the field full time someday. The only setback thing that has come to my attention is how disproportionately cold I get while I’m writing. I think all that time standing still genuinely lowers my circulation, and I find myself in desperate need of gloves and a space boiler to use my fingers again. I’ve tried adding extra layers of clothing on, but the only thing that seems to help is bumping up the thermostat or utilizing external heaters. This has become a bit of a problem, as I’m now using my central heating far more than before to keep up with my writing, and my daily bills are reflecting the increased boiler hobby. It’s at the point where I’m considering buying a zone controlled heating and cooling system, just so I can write comfortably in one room separate from heating the entire house. If this job persists, I’ll be calling my local Heating, Ventilation, and A/C dealer.
