For most of my life I can remember receiving praise for my writing.
Homework assignments throughout high university, research papers in school, professional SMSs and academic articles in my full time position have all been unquestionably well received.
I never thought much of it, until I realized one afternoon how consumed I am while I write. The activity unquestionably engages me, and time flies by without a single moment of boredom. I cherish playing with wording to achieve an interesting voice and supply the document flow, and I can get lost in this activity 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 disadvantage thing that has come to my attention is how disproportionately cold I get while I’m writing. I know all that time resting still unquestionably lowers my circulation, and I find myself in desperate need of gloves and a space heater 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 control component 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 energy bills are reflecting the increased furnace activity. 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 without heating the entire house. If this career persists, I’ll be calling my local Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C company.
