been finding it hard to prioritise my work since finishing my phd - what i work towards is up to me!
this is exciting, but complicated by my disability and my need to make money which limits my time
it can be hard to decide which of my projects to work on when i only have one slot a week

Every Friday, we meet a BFS member & peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). We're dipping into the world of Chinese legends this week with Eric Huang, whose children's books are inspired by the bedtime stories his father told.
