Good Writing is Worth More than 0.04c per Word
June 24th 2011 07:53
So, I've started looking for writing gigs again. And it strikes me that the amount of decent paying jobs has declined considerably. On the other hand, I could apply for an endless amount of extremely low paying projects.
40$ for 1000 words? Really? Sometimes I wonder if I should just stick with my less than ideal yet well-paid office job.

Job Hunting
April 24th 2011 20:57
Sorry for the long silence - we're having the hottest April on record here in London and the little one and I have been making the best of the weather.
I have also started scanning the writing job boards again. So far, I haven't landed any assignments yet. There isn't much out there that fits my current requirements, as I won't be able to spend more than two hours a day on gig right now. It's a bit of a learning curve for me, as well, as I have to take into account that no matter how well I plan my time, the little one may have other ideas.

Freelance Tips is still in hiatus
February 22nd 2011 11:07
I'm still enjoying quality time with my almost three-month old, delightful baby daughter. So there's nothing to report yet on the WAHM (that's work at home mum) front.
Well, maybe there's a couple of things: If you can afford to take a few months off, then do it. Little ones change so quickly and spending lots of time with them is a lovely thing. On the other hand, if you have to make money, make the most of this time when they sleep so much. Either way, don't feel bad about your choice.

I'm taking a bit of a break from working at the moment while I'm etting the hang of looking after an infant.
When I come back, I'll focus on tips for freelancing mothers who juggle kids and career.
Enjoy the holidays and Happy New Year!

Self-Promotion for Introverts
October 24th 2010 20:43
Chances are you chose to become a freelance writer because you're not the most outgoing person. You figured that working from home, finding jobs online would suit your personality better. In general, you find that's the case. There's only one thing that bothers you: marketing yourself and your services. You don't like shouting about yourself the way extroverts do. Unfortunately, because of all the shouters, you're often overlooked.
You're not alone, and, even better, there's help: Self-promotion for introverts shows introverts how to advance their career in a way that suits their personality.

Gumtree Digest 18 July 2010
July 18th 2010 20:33
Gumtree is the UK's equivalent of craigslist. I check the site for writing gigs regularly and sometimes I find things that I like enough to share them with my readers.
Contributors to new magazines seem to be in high demand in London right now. I've seen a few ads in the Gumtree section Creative Writing looking for writers, editors and other creatives recently[ Click here to read more ]
