Welcome to the Hungry Writer series.
Being a writer is busy work whether you make it a full-time job or a second career. Sometimes I get so lost in my work that I don’t even realise it’s lunchtime. Then I have to cook food which takes time from writing because I know that I have to go to work after lunch.
