So, I’m a writer who also designs T-Shirts
Why? Well, because it takes six months to two years to write a book and twenty minutes to four hours to design a shirt.

Why is that important? A thing takes as long as it takes and if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing, yes? Not when our old chum Covid gets you made redundant, after forty plus years in the Foodservice industry. No, then you really appreciate your freedom from the nine to five like never before and you really, really, don’t want to go back to it.

I’ve been writing more or less all my life with some but limited success and designing stuff really, just as a hobby, mainly greetings cards for friends and family amongst other things. The nine to five does not make me happy. Writing makes me happy, designing stuff makes me happy.

I’m sure it’s in the rules somewhere that I’m allowed to be happy… It is isn’t it?
