This is just my realization as a writer as a human being who longs to have a happy and balance life. This could be a lesson to other writers too here based from my experience.
Pondering Things As A Writer And A Human Being
I woke up this morning with a thankful heart that I did a great sleep. I was quite busy for about two months in my writing jobs for I am may be very tired to the point that I went to the doctor and later I will go back there again this afternoon. I love writing to very much since I was young. And I am learning how to do it well and use it well efficiently. And lately, I discovered many things especially how to make money out of it. I was happy then, especially that I’ve learned it from here in Wikinut; since there so many great writers here which I appreciate the most. I consider them as my mentors in my writing career.
So now, as I am resting and relaxing in my room, I don’t know how to relax, instead of writing again a diary to express my thoughts in this hour. I am relaxing now because of this writing thing too. I was writing for others as well as to my blog. I am very thankful to accomplish all those things as my part time jobs for I am also teaching. But that would be the reason why I got stressed. Though I don’t consider it as a stress, but my family and love ones told me to stop this as well as my doctor. But I can’t.
Anyway, I know I love what I am doing and I know the reason why I like it too. Now I realize that the only way so that my health will not be suffering is that I should learn how to make wise choices. I should choose the right client with a right price and content. This is what I missed the most. When I got clients who told me write, I was very excited to the point that there were no proper negotiations. So, I learned a lesson.
Another thing is my time management. When I was busy, I was only thinking all for my writing. So, when I woke up in the morning, I turned on my laptop and started working, and I would eat very late. And the saddest thing is that I slept very late too. So again, I think I was too much excited. I lost my mind.
So now I realize that a mind with full of thoughts is quite dangerous. Like me, I want to do many things from my ideas and creativity. But sad to say, I can’t be a superwoman. So, I should take things within my pace with proper organization and wise time management to balance my life.
I just share this to everyone here especially to my fellow writers. I know we all aspire to achieve something in our writing career. But please, let us think again about our well being. A balance lifestyle makes a balance health and life. We could write more and would be happier if we are healthy. So, now I have problems about my breathing something reated to heart problem mainly because of too much work. But I am getting better now, I just need good rest with good exercise and food.
So, enjoy your day guys. Enjoy writing while you enjoy your life too. Have a great day!

I too am putting the brakes on my writing. Keeping clients happy sounds stressful so I haven't gone there. Getting something onto Suite 101 was enough for me! Take Care.
