Life as a freelance writer
In: Freelancing
30 Aug 2009
This morning I spent some time planning my next freelancing move. (Yes, that’s planning to plan, [insert laughter here]). I decided this week that I’ve got to start scheduling in my writing time, because I’m obviously not finding the time to do it on an ad-hoc basis. This means that I’ll be spending more than my Sunday mornings working on my freelance career.
I’m going to start taking two nights a week and do some writing. Whether that’s writing up blog posts, or writing up 15 queries a night, I’m just going to get writing.
Weekends will be reserved for more targeted writing work and job seeking activities. This could include things like working on my blogs or sites, combing the various freelance sites for job postings and so on. Being actively searching is my goal.
I’m hoping this plan will kick-start the freelancing for me and get me more than my one current paying gig (and I’m not talking about my full-time job_.
I'm a freelance technical writer who's trying to make the transition from working for somebody else to working for me.

As long as you don’t plan to pre-plan, I think you’re okay

That might also be the official definition for procrastination, I’m not sure
