whenever i am busy with church, family, i will put writing down. Won't ever compromise them.
And, its just a hobby i enjoy doing.
Every tech job I've had here in SG expected full ownership of any and all IP created whilst an employee, no moonlighting, and always ended up consuming every waking second of my time anyway making the whole point moot.
Good on you for making it all balance and not only feeding your family but spending time with them too (which is bloody hard here).
yea, if my day job was tech (it was previously), i would be so sick of it and wouldn't touch it when I got home. But now, i don't touch it in my day job and it suddenly becomes a pleasure to tinker with.
