 Reading
8 Read the article about the life of a writer. The headings are missing from the article. Choose from the
headings A–E the one which fits each gap.

1 ………………………
When I was young, I dreamed about being a famous writer and now I am! I know I’m a very lucky person. I love
my life and I love my work.
2 ………………………
Like most other writers, I work from home. I have a small office in the garden and every day I spend at least
five hours there, writing. My dog sits beside me and all round me the garden is peaceful. When I want to break
for lunch, I stop, but if I’m particularly interested in what I’m writing, I continue until it’s a good time. I organise
my time myself. I don’t have to do what someone else tells me. That’s probably the biggest advantage.
3 ………………………
However, it’s not quite as easy as it seems. No, I don’t have to get up early and travel a long distance to work,
but I have to make sure that I follow a routine or I would never manage to do everything. So, I get up at the
same time each day and make sure that I’m sitting at my computer by 8:30. I try to write the same number of
words every day too, and usually I do.
4 ………………………
One of the disadvantages of working from home is that people don’t think that I’m doing a ‘real’ job. People
call me for a chat or come for a coffee and I have to be very strict with them and tell them that they mustn’t
interrupt me! Another difficulty is if I don’t have any ideas. This happens quite often! There’s no one to tell me
what I should or shouldn’t write. It’s all in my head and if I can’t think of anything, then I can’t write and I have
to go for a walk with the dog or listen to some music to give my brain a rest. After a break like this, I can usually
start writing again.
5 ………………………
I can’t imagine having another job. If I didn’t write, I don’t know what I’d do. So, I have to hope that people will
continue to buy my books and that I continue to have good ideas!

A Problems of the job D The importance of routines

B The only job for me E My time is my own
