Uncertainty

It's an odd time. I'm in the middle of changing jobs - or, more accurately, I am about to leave one job with an uncertain future ahead of me.

My current employer is downsizing, so I have taken the bold/foolish decision of taking a severance package with the idea that I will either get another permanent job or start my own consultancy, mixed in with spending more time writing.

It is quite possibly the biggest gamble I have ever taken. It could pay off handsomely or I could end up with egg on my face.

All of this uncertainty is making it difficult to write at the moment. It is hard to be creative when you are not sure how you are going to pay the mortgage.

Right now it feels like the right thing to do. I only hope I still think that way in a few months' time...
