It's been a very long time since I've posted here at Adventures in Freelancing. While I love writing about writing, I realized I had to get some focus in my life. So for the last several months, I've been putting my energies into my family, my personal blog and paid writing projects. I've had various projects, from professional blogging gigs to writing for private clients, and the work has been enjoyable.
I'm still not making a full-time living as a writer, but that's okay. What I've come to realize is that I'm happiest when I feel like I have a balance. I know that so many people are chasing that seemingly unattainable balance, but as a freelancer with a husband who works full-time, I've realized that I have the luxury of coming close. I do need to work in order for us to get by financially, but I no longer feel the need to match my previous income.
I'm still taking steps toward doing the kinds of work that most fulfills me. I've finally set up my professional website, and I'm enjoying networking and marketing with this tool in hand. Having a website makes it all so much easier. How did I ever do without it? When I apply for jobs, I simply provide potential employers with my website URL, and they've got my writing samples and a snapshot of who I am right at their fingertips.
So that's what I've been up to lately. How about you? What kinds of things are you working on? Are you happy with your balance?
