Confession - I LOVE being busy! I'm a workaholic who is capable of ignoring housework until I notice my white furniture is now closer to grey due to a thick layer of dust. I could even ignore the need for a social life if it wasn't for my husband and closest friends dragging me out from time to time on an evening and the weekend.
I am this way, of course, because I love my work - I am one of those lucky people whose work doesn't feel like work. I can sit at my desk for hours without complaint - my work is a HUGE part of my life. Right now, I am writing a new book, editing another due for release in the summer, studying for a history degree with the Open University and running a critique service. I am busy BUT also very happy!
I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having times when I throw a 'little' tantrum or practically bite the heads off my husband or kids if they dare to step into my office or tell me I look 'stressed'! Haha!
But, on the whole, I know how to handle the self-inflicted pressure I put myself under and consider myself quite the expert at juggling my workload. HOWEVER, I do have a secret weapon that keeps me sane, supports me and reminds me when I need to work on my mindset, imposter syndrome or fear.
And that secret weapon is the amazing group of writer friends I have built up over the years, the fellow members of the Female Enterpeneur Association (https://femaleentrepreneurassociation.com/)and, of course, my beautiful family. You might wonder why I chose to write this post today and the reason is simple...I wanted to share a little more about me and the sort of person I am.
Are you like me in your work? More chilled? What are you coping mechanisms? Do you belong to a group that supports you in work or play?
Let's chat!

Have you downloaded my latest release yet?? A VERY MODERN MARRIAGE is out now!
He needs a wife...
Manchester industrialist William Rose was a poor lad from the slums who pulled
himself up by his bootstraps, but in order to achieve his greatest ambitions he
must become the epitome of Victorian respectability: a family man.
She has a plan...
But the only woman who's caught his eye is sophisticated beauty Octavia
Marshall, one of the notorious ladies of Carson Street. Though she was once
born to great wealth and privilege, she's hardly respectable, but she's
determined to invest her hard-earned fortune in Mr Rose's mills and forge a new
life as an entirely proper businesswoman.
They strike a deal that promises them both what they desire the
most, but William's a fool if he thinks Octavia will be a conventional married
woman, and she's very much mistaken if she thinks the lives they once led won't
follow them wherever they go.
In the third instalment of Rachel Brimble's exciting Victorian saga series, The Ladies of Carson Street will open the doors on a thoroughly modern marriage – and William is about to get a lot more than he bargained for...
