Finding Balance
Posted by Jo | Filed under Freelancing
Finding balance, wouldn’t that be nice?
I’ve been feeling guilty lately for neglecting my fiction in favor of my non-fiction work. Unfortunately, the non-fiction is what’s paying right now, so it tends to stand up and demand attention. I’ve got a freelance contract now I’m working on, which I plan to have finished in about a week.
I try to divide my time between my fiction and non-fiction, but that’s often hard to do. Any money that the fiction might bring in is sometime in the future. Since one of my goals is to freelance full-time, I’m in no position to neglect the paid writing gigs.
Luckily, what I’m working on now is a knitting-related project, so it’s something I enjoy writing about. Yes, I’m actually getting paid to knit and write about it. Amazing.
