Anyone else wish they could take the rest of the year off to rest and refresh, or is it just me? My creativity and motivation are shot.

Freelancer problems: When the underlying fear of one day having no work is SO strong, you physically can’t say “no” to new work. Good problem to have, I suppose?

Are you even a freelance writer if your daily wardrobe doesn't include business casual on top and pajamas on bottom?

Do you have a BIG goal for 2024? What is it? Mine is twofold: Secure another large hospital client, & get another contract extension for the one I currently have. 🏆Award-winning health systems are my favorite type of clients🤫

Hustling now so I can take a few days off later. #freelancerlife #storyofmylife

I love it when an editor leaves witty comments on my work that make me LOL. Gotta love someone who makes work more fun 😜

Me in December: “Let’s regroup on that in the New Year.” Me in January:

If you spend your time chasing butterfies, they'll fly away. If you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come. Don't chase, attract.

That glimmer of glee when a client cancels a meeting and asks to reschedule #freelancing

One of my clients is a fertility agency, and I just found out that my work (along with other digital marketing efforts) directly contributed to 4 babies being made in January. My work made babies🥹 🙌🏼

Freelance writers: If you ever want to spice up your verbiage but can't think of the right word, try OneLook Thesaurus: onelook.com/thesaurus/ I use it daily. Do you already use something comparable? What is it?

Freelance writers: Do you do any pro bono work? How do you find time to work it into your already busy schedule? What's your strategy for prioritizing it? Gimme all the tips 🙏🏼

Note to self: Don't take a week-long vacation during the shortest month of the year unless you have a subcontractor who can help you with your work. #freelancelife

Freelancer problems: The constant urge to look for more work even when you technically don't need more work. #storyofmylife

When writing, don’t sell what it is. Sell what it does.

Someone please explain to me why realtors write like this. Whyyy is every word capitalized?! #petpeeve #grammar

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket," I whisper as I turn down work from my smallest clients so I can spend more time on my biggest clients.

Mom guilt is vicious. Work is piling up, and my 3-year-old cried this morning because she misses me and wants to stay home with me all day. My kids want MORE time with me, but I have LESS time to give them. The work/life balance struggle is real.
