So for the last few months I’ve been a bit of a digital nomad, if you will. I am a little reluctant to say that because my perception of being a globetrotting digital nomad is someone who of the upper crust in freelancer society, and has money and high-paying clients out the wazoo. I, on […]
So after working like crazy for a good long while, about a month ago I hit a bit of a lull. One of my clients was occupied with another project, my part-time onsite job with my old employer was tapering off, and another outlet stopped their paid content. You know, that is just the way […]
The question I get the most from my friends is: How do I get paid to write? I’ve been a writer in some capacity for a long time, it’s only been the last few years that I started to get paid for it. While I’ve worked in editorial in some capacity for the last decade, […]
One thing I’ve been trying to figure out is how to best structure my time.

November 22nd was officially when I hit my one-month anniversary as a full-time freelancer. I know I’m late on posting this, but funny thing is I’ve been super busy freelancing so haven’t been able to post as much as I would like to. I’ve had to make some tough choices and declined some full-time […]
The benefits of freelancing are many: freedom, flexibility, and making prank calls in the comfort of your home at any hour, to name a few. In the last month or so since I’ve made my foray into freelancing full-time, I’ve found there are actually a few things I sort of miss about the 9-5. Maybe […]
