Martine’s routine
I wake every morning at 7am. I make coffee and sit down with my boyfriend for a proper breakfast of yogurt and granola and fruit.
�So what are you doing today?� he asks.
This can be a daunting question for any freelancer. �I�m going to write,� I say proudly.

My boyfriend slurps the last of his coffee and looks at his watch. �I gotta go,� he says, heading for the door. �Have a good day!�
For the next nine hours, anything is possible.
From The Key to a Successful Freelance Career: A Diary, by Sarah Hepola. (linked via This Boy is Toast)
I recognized myself a lot in this funny article about the life of a freelance writer (except maybe for the fact that the television is not a temptation for me during the day, and I have only had one daytime glass of wine so far. So far…). I also do the same as this writer when my beau comes back « home » from work: I talk his ears off because he is often the only person I have talked to for a whole day. It lasts 10 minutes and then it’s his turn and then we both crash on the couch, dizzy with words and company. A few minutes later we talk about dinner, and we often end up eating out, because, well, by then, it’s kind of late and I haven’t been out all day. It’s fun! You should all try it!
