First allow me to commend some amazing advice and input here - and it is well worth considering.This year has been particularly difficult both economically and psychologically. Feelings of hopelessness in the face of the adversities we have had to deal with is not uncommon and in fact by all accounts quite normal. So, please give yourself permission to feel this overwhelm, acknowledge it and then decide how it can serve you. We often correlate our margin of success with our ability to achieve and sustain our careers and this too is a normal association since this is how we are raised. You made three very important points about what you enjoy writing, working with animals and working with plants. Have you considered combining these - e.g. writing about plants and animals either broadly or specifically. For example, which plants are preferred by which animals and why? Why some domestic animals develop allegic reactions to some grasess and what to do about it? For people living in apartments , which plants or herbs or similar can provide natural spaces for animals like cats for them to feel some of nature in their spaces to keep them from tearing up the place etc , etc. perhaps even provide some micro lessons for animal lovers on these topics.Perhaps even connect with vets so talk about supplementation and rehabilitation to help people caring for injured pets. Which plants can be used to manage pet odours in the home or other odours and keep the air in the home clean. Maybe even talk about companion planting for small home gardens. I think the list is endless and is a really good combination because often(though not always) pet lovers also love plants and this is a good way to inform and educate people about harmonising these two fun and generous aspects of their nature. #justathought.
