spacebarpress.com - Freelance technical writing / writer

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.

During the Week Writing

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.

On the Weekends

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.

The End Result: True Freelancing

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_.
