Sometimes in life, a writer and poet must struggle with the work-life balance, which can often get knocked askew by things in the real world. In the cold, harsh dawn of reality, the other side of Leilanie Stewart author is fighting a battle that will be going to court in mid-January next year. I have now metamorphosed from writer into litigant in person! Alas, a starving artist must be her own solicitor since there is no such thing as legal aid and court fees are so high in the UK!
A big hairy mess…fighting the legal fight
But some things are worth the fight, for if we do not fight for our rights, we lose them.
My poetry and fiction may be on a temporary hiatus as I practise writing non-fiction in the form of legal documents, but I will be back with renewed passion once this 5-month-and-counting-nightmare is over. Keep you posted ✌
