American John Kehoe has written extensively on this subject in various works. He is the one who hibernated in the woods of Canada or Alaska for five years contemplating the mind and talking to the trees, like Bonnie Prince Charlie talking to the plants! I should have been a lumberjack instead of a writer; but then I can’t imagine ot https://npfinancials.com.au/myself floating down a swollen river and balancing on a log!
I too am writing in virtual hibernation. Perhaps it’s good for writing by forcing one to focus. Anyway, the creative juices seem to flow well here in Gisborne, New Zealand. (Incidentally, the country has produced some great Kiwi writers).

Seriously (for a change) though, it’s never too late to change direction; look at South Africa and apartheid, the fall of Communism, Yugoslavia, Israel and Palestine… Set priorities. It is important to have flexible goals; they are not set in concrete and can be changed as you change and develop. Remember changing goals in
