Freelance Tips - by Jenn Hollowell

 
Most of the information presented here is based on my experience, on the spot findings, and progress in my own freelance writing career.

Don’t Give Up!

August 27th 2008 16:22

You’ve received ten rejections, your blog stats have fallen, and you can’t seem to add anything of worth to your current work in progress. There are days when you search for leads and nothing you’re qualified turns up. There are days when your idea file is stale and you can’t seem to come up with anything fresh.

DON’T GIVE UP!


Above are descriptions every freelance writer, and book author faces on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. These are typical things that we all have to face, learn how to deal with, and move past. There are going to be constants when you find yourself:
· Questioning your abilities.
· Doubting the markets you’re choosing.
· Wondering if you should continue.
· Thinking your work has no merit.

Don’t let your inner critic guide you – stay positive! Find a social network online or a face to face group to meet with to keep you motivated and on track.

It's kind of funny but I don't think I've ever found myself thinking about giving up writing. It's just that much a part of me-besides, I've read a LOT about writing and the topic of rejection comes up often.
