Writing in between ... new work

I retired last year, then 6 weeks later, I started a new job. I went from I.T. professional to the coordinator of Master Gardeners for my county.

What does that entail? Helping MGs with their events, making sure they stay on budget, signing contracts for various things -- management, essentially.

It's a part-time job (30 hours a week), which leaves me ample time for writing. I'll have 2 books out this year, I've written 1 BIG one (100,000 words) and one small one (70K words) and I'm on track to finish another one that will probably come in at 70K.

I still write every day, I still enjoy it, and I'm still submitting manuscripts to my editor. In short: not much has changed and yet a lot has changed.
