Because freelancing is not for the faint-of-heart
To my fellow freelancers, writers-for-hire, and word-gurus-on-the-go:
You know that freelancing is not for the faint-of-heart.
We chose it because of the freedom it offers and because our entrepreneurial spirit guided us toward independent, non-traditional pursuits.
Yes. It’s an incredible joy to be able to work at home. I blossom in my quiet, country home surrounded by natural beauty. My dogs, Ella and Zoey, keep me company and transmit doggie goodwill with every breath. I dress how I want, eat when I want, and listen to the music I want. (Today I’m wearing overalls, having my third cup of hot tea, and munching on toast and cream cheese as I write.)
I avoid commutes, crowded offices, and constant chatter. I can focus all my attention on the task at hand without distractions.
Yes. I like being in charge of my own destiny, unhampered by office politics and company policies. It’s a blessing to be my own boss and pilot my own plane.
It’s just not easy
But even with all those blessings, freelancing is hard.
