This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "Do you write full time? If not, what is your day job?
Well, yes, writing does take up most of my time. And a lot of what's left over is taken up with helping to care for my grandson. I'm not sure anything I do qualifies as a day job, however. I haven't had one of those in a while.
I've done a lot of different things over the course of my life, but I think my favorite was working in a kennel. Hard work, obscenely early start to the day, but I spent the whole time interacting with dogs and cats. It was a crazy time. I was driving my dream car, living in my dream house, working for minimum wage shoveling poop and cleaning up messes. And staying up late every night writing. I don't think I've ever been happier.
Of course, I was a lot younger then. It would probably kill me if I tried that now.
But I have four books releasing (or re-releasing) this year that rely heavily on the experiences I had during that time of my life and which feature dogs, dogs, dogs, and two very unusual cats. (side note: Yes, yes, I know. All cats are unusual).
Now, hop on over to Jill Haymaker's page, And find out about her day job (or lack thereof). And don't forget to check out her book Colorado Summer Stars!
