Hi again, writer friends!
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but even though I’ve been a successful freelancer for almost two decades and taught hundreds of writers how to pitch and build amazing writing careers of their own, once I stepped away from full-time freelancing, my confidence wavered. The more time passed, the more I worried that everything I’d achieved had been a fluke and that I wouldn’t be as successful again were I to return.
Well, this month I billed $7,600, wrote 15 articles, and broke into The Sunday Times (UK). I have another feature coming out with them later this month, and some more exciting things in the works. I feel, for the first time in many years, like myself again. Someone who has a way of understanding the world because she’s writing about it.
In between assignments, I worked on The Wordling website. We now have a Resources page that I’ll be adding to each week. We also have an Articles page, an Interviews page, and a Trainings page, each of which I’m updating regularly.
I’m thinking about merging The International Freelancer with The Wordling so that everything’s in one place. Increasingly, I want things to be simple, but effective. I wonder if merging all the various things I’ve thrown at the Internet might be a way to achieve this. I’m still pondering. What do you think?
One more article to file this week and then I’ll be back to working on my novel. I’m almost at the halfway mark. Exciting!
Cheers,
Natasha
