Life as a freelance writer
In: Freelancing| Working| Writing

I’ve been talking about it for a while now, but I’ve finally gotten off my duff and back to some freelancing work! I’ve updated my freelance site (spacebarpress.com, in case you were wondering), and I cleaned up my job site list. Today I’m about to dive back into things by hunting around the job sites and start applying for some freelance jobs. Just little projects at first, as I am still working full-time, but projects nonetheless.
I’ve since decided that I’m not going to be participating in Nanowrimo this year, as I’m just not feeling inspired. Plus, as a published friend of mine commented, “I only write when there’s either an editor or a paycheque at the end of the day.” Okay, so that doesn’t really foster the whole “let’s write for the sake of writing”, but I think it’s a good point to make to me, at least, since at this point in time I need a bit more motivation than just the idea of finishing a story, you know?
So like the woman in the picture here, I’m getting off my duff today and starting the marathon. I’ve got the running shoes out of the closet, and I’m pulling on my socks right now!
I'm a freelance technical writer who's trying to make the transition from working for somebody else to working for me.
