For many, life is a careful mix between job, personal obligations, and the search of hobbies. As a London escort, this juggling act has particular relevance. Though my days are full with interesting meetings and varied discussions, among the dynamic nature of my work there is another aspiration developing: the desire to write a novel. Though I often find myself thinking about this, the reality of scheduling specific time for such a creative project is a great difficulty. According to
My job itself is not quite a standard 9 to 5. Every day offers fresh clients, fresh dynamics, and fresh narratives. One never runs out of presence, empathy, or interesting discussion. This is about engaging with people, knowing their needs, and giving a unique experience—not only about turning up. Although very fulfilling in its own right, this continuous participation provides little opportunity for the kind of sustained attention writing needs. A novel cannot be simply pecked at 10 minutes between visits. To really grow characters, story lines, and concepts, one must be deeply immersed, meditate quietly, and spend unbroken lengths of time.
Then I have my personal life. Like everyone else, I have friends, family, and interests that make me happy and ground me. As I have shown before, I enjoy discovering London’s hidden treasures, dining at different places, and just lounging with a nice book, frequently an erotic one! My wellbeing depends on these times, which offer a much-needed respite from the demands of my work life. Again, though, they fight over the limited hours available in a day. Adding the weight of a several-thousand-word book to this already full calendar might be daunting.
Still, there is great attraction to writing. It is rather appealing to translate my own experiences as a London escort into a fictional story, of providing a window into a world sometimes misinterpreted. Stories that subvert preconceptions, investigate the complexity of human interaction, and finally speak to readers on a more intimate level really appeal to me. I think there is a worthwhile viewpoint to provide that could help to increase understanding and empathy. But belief by itself does not inspire the time required to sit down, develop ideas, create an outline, and then painstakingly produce chapter after chapter.
It is about the emotional and cerebral energy as much as the raw word count needed. Having a long day of “on” with clients might make it challenging to change gears and access the creative wellspring required for narrative. The discussions of the day still whirl in my head, or maybe I am just looking forward a peaceful evening to relax. It takes great discipline to commit to a writing session and go past that tiredness. Many would-be writers talk of the importance of regularity, of setting aside certain blocks of time, even in cases where inspiration is elusive. Establishing such a timetable is a daily struggle against an erratic schedule for someone in my area of work.
Therefore, even although my desire of writing a book about my life as a London escort still shines, the pragmatic concerns remain a major obstacle. Aspiration and reality are always negotiating each other, as is the requirement of daily existence against the urge to create. Maybe one day I will discover that ideal rhythm and that elusive harmony that lets me really enter the realm of words. The tales keep gathering in my head till then, just waiting for their chance to really come to pass.
