It’s been a month since I returned to Edinburgh and I have barely written anything. We had a bit of trouble finding stable accommodation. We’ve been staying in motels, a friend’s large cupboard and then his room while he was gone, but now we’ve moved into a new place that does month by month rent.
Finding a place in Edinburgh has been really difficult. I never realized that it was going to be this hard. I can see how people become a bit homeless sometimes 😦 So many places also employed the tactic of requesting money first before even seeing the room. Yikes!! No way!
It was stressful and a bit depressing, but now that we’ve moved into this new place I should be calming down and getting into a routine. I’ve also had to take the bus to work now 😦 I wish I lived closer, but it’s just too expensive 😦
I was hoping to have one of my novella’s out for the new year, but I do not think that is going to happen 😦 I have a new appreciation for those writers who have to commute to work a lot.
Only 6 days until Xmas.
