I will largely finish one of the fiction novellas because of the NaNoWriMo competition. Whiel I was working on my degree it was challenging and sometimes I did not get to write much more than an hour a day, but when I say 50%, I mean I spend about 4-8 hours writing for NaNoWriMo per day and 4-8 on the other projects depending on whether I have outside work to do and other individuals who needs my attention or if I am playing music (I play an instrument) or drawing/painting or making time to socialize. The weekends I hermit away and write alot. Sometimes I write all night. with a nap sitting in the chair and my head on the keyboard. What do you want to know? How much time is devoted to writing? What I plan to do with the writing when finished? Your caseworker likely wants to know what you will do with the writing and how you can contretely use your strength of communicating in English to benefit yourself , society and perhap make money?? Just my thoughts....... ELSKEDE ---------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ML for Denmark Lover of good wine, chocolate truffles and NaNoWriMo

I decided when I was a little girl that I would be a writer, preacher and pisocholgist (LOL, ah childhood pronounciation!). Well, I did become a journalist, a priest/ordained minister(and still am) and work now in psychology and coaching. I also wanted to always work on my own and not for someone who would determine my income, my working hours and how I would dress. I have managed to make that materialize, too. Think outside the box with confidence in who you are and your abilities. (And never let the "whiners, wackos, complainers and crazies" get you down with their negativity and sarcasm). In short, your plans are to be successful and no less than that. Now you just need decide the route to arriving at your goal. Writing and communicating is a fine thing. And you were able to speak well in Danish at the Kickoff, so remmeber you can incorporate that....
