Unfortunately, life's realities overtook my literary aspirations, and I 'temporarily' put writing on the 'back-burner' because I had a living to earn. That 'temporary' period became ten years, but I have just started writing again, so who knows - 'que sera, sera'.

'Food first, then aesthetics' (apologies to Bertolt Brecht ).

...ahh, it's a shame about your writing because it's something you must love doing..?...but maybe you'll get time to fit some in with your work at some point in the future..?...but you're right of course, it's not something you can prioritise unless it's making you enough income as well...and it'll always be on that back burner when you have time to pick it off again, which I truly hope you will...we have a creative writing section on the forum as well, I don't know if you've seen it..?..but you could post some of your short stories in there if you wanted to...I'd love to read some, sometime...
