Boy, do I suck at titles lol. But at least it’s to the point - this post is about my work.
I’m working on Textbroker today. I got a later start than I had intended, but I’ll work until I feel it’s time to hit the hay. I just finished a few orders for one writing team, so I’m ready to switch over to another team. The team I’m about to switch to is full of 90-word restaurant descriptions, which can add up when you do a lot of them. The only issue is it takes this client a few days to accept the orders, so they won’t be accepted by tonight’s cash-out. But they might be ready for Sunday’s cash-out (if not, then next Wednesday for sure). The team I just finished working with for the night doesn’t make me wait long on weekdays, so there’s a chance those orders will be a part of tonight’s cash-out. I have until 2:59am (my time) for anything to be accepted for this pay period, otherwise, it rolls over to the next payout.
Tomorrow, I’m planning to work on a 1,200-word order for a client who has been absolutely understanding of my situation and why I wasn’t around for almost a month. It’s not due until Sept. 29th, but I’d like to get it to her before then. I worked on her 700-word order the other day, so once I’m finished with this one, I can submit the entire project.
And that’s where I’m at with my freelance writing. I’m glad to be back to work. I mean, I need the money (esp. with upcoming events), but it also keeps my mind occupied. You can only spend the day sleeping and watching movies for so long. Plus, writing is a part of who I am, and I don’t want to completely lose myself in grief, if that makes sense. I’m still taking it one day at a time though.

It's completely alright and understandable. Sometimes you need that focus. And, there's nothing wrong with that. Grief doesn't have a timetable. You'll be okay, in your own time.

That's all you can do. One day at a time. I'm glad you're writing again.




I always make sure to meet my deadlines, even if a client tells me they're not worried about it. Meeting my deadlines is very important to me.
