The undercover Writer

I sometimes feel like I have a secret identity. ‘The undercover writer’

During work hours I sit in the office and dutiful work for my paycheck.

But in the quiet moments, maybe during a rainy lunch break or while on an extended tea break, I write.

While I type, the grey walls disappear and the harsh florescent lighting fades and I can create my own world. Even if it is only for a few minutes.

In amongst my office paperwork, I keep notepads with scribbled stories and sticky notes of ideas.

Everyone should take the time out of each day to do something they enjoy, even if it isn’t particularly constructive. Five minutes reading my favourite book is better than five hours typing spreadsheets in my opinion.

Everyone should have another identity other than their job, even if it doesn’t pay the bills.
