Freelance Writing Jobs

Quote of the Day: Talent is helpful in writing, but guts are absolutely essential.–Jessamyn West

Publisher’s Notes:

Good morning! Faye has some words about this week’s question:“I noticed today’s quote — very poignant given the fact that there have been no answers to the question you posted on Monday! Guess everybody is so busy with projects this week, they haven’t had time to answer.

One of the things I have learned as a freelancer is how good my writing is and that I can do some things as an editor that are uncommon in the marketplace. I have been looking for ways to capitalize on that from a marketing perspective.

I have also been learning how long things take me and how much I need to charge in order to live off my work. That, in turn, has led me to look for ways to find the clients who will pay what I’m worth, without balking. Still working on that. If anyone has any words of wisdom, I’d sure love to hear!

Because I am very versatile (marcom, article writing, book editing, magazine copy editing, course writing…) I have been experimenting to find my most comfortable niches and where my expertise really lies. I like the variety and haven’t figured out an answer to that yet, although I love book editing and have a great deal to offer there because of the depth in which I work.

Thanks for the great job you’re doing!”

Thanks Faye!

That’s it for today. Have a wonderful day!

Quote of the Day: The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.–Walt Disney

Publisher’s Notes:

The first response to this week’s question comes from Faye:“Hi Karen,

When I get swamped, I look at 2 things: deadline, and my mood.

I usually start working on whatever has the closest deadline, unless my mood is such that I would really rather be working on something else and wouldn’t be able to concentrate on the closer deadline assignment. Once I get working, I’m in the swing. Then when I tire of one thing, I just set it aside and work on something else. By then I’m usually ready to focus on the one with the closer deadline.

My big thing is getting focused. Let’s say I’ve already done the interview and have to put my notes into an article and am having trouble getting focused or getting a flow. Creativity just can’t be forced!

Since I usually have scattered ideas, I’ll just work on scattered paragraphs and put them a the top of the page. I might work for 20 or 30 minutes and then go do something else. I’ll come back to that article several times during the day and create individual paragraphs, move them around, fine tune them. In the end, after several days of this, the article turns out great and has been a lot less painful to write than if I tried to force myself to focus when I felt lost.

Writing does not have to be linear!

Hope this helps. Happy writing!”

Thanks Faye!
