Applications, applications

As described in the blog yesterday, I'm on the hunt for jobs, not entirely willingly.

In an ideal world, I'd write novels for 2-3 hours a day, and do other things such as walking, violin making, programming, gardening and holidaying the rest of the time.

However, the novel (see much earlier blog) is somewhere about the end of Chapter 6, and I'm in, I think, two catch-22s at once. I can't write to finish it, as I need the time to apply for jobs. I need to apply for jobs because it might take a while to finish the novel and begin the next, and ther'e no guarantee that it would produce any income at all anyway. If I do get a job, then I won't have time to write. Aaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh! Does anyone know what to do?

In the meantime, I've applied for various posts, including a lecturing job at a college, and next week I might also put in for the vacant Vice-Principal's job at the same place. Is this hedgehog mad? very probably.
