Where did the time go?
Happy New Year, everyone.
It's 2013 and I am thinking about my goals for the coming year.
Last year, I increased my daily prose intake and read many books that were on my to-read list and more besides that I bought throughout the year. This is a good thing taking into account my complaints about barely finishing a book in months.
On the downside, I hardly did any writing. It can be a trial to find the energy to write with a full-time job so that is something I am struggling with. I have also been focusing on my relationship, which consumes my weekends and most of my idle hours.
So for this year, I will strive to write more poetry, work on my novels, try my hand at writing short stories and consider freelancing.
I am quite confused about this freelancing business. When signing up for websites, they mention a variety of writing software I've never heard about before, which probably means they would not accept my application. So how are you supposed to start freelance writing?
Do you take a course? Do you buy said software online? I will ask some fellow creative souls for advice.
If an experienced freelancer is reading this, do not hesitate to drop me a line!

It is a struggle to fit everything in, isn't it?
I feel your pain! It is extremely difficult to find balance in my life too between doing what I love and working full-time to pay the bills. I had to choose between writing and reading. I just finished my second novel in my slated trilogy and really need to take a break. Being an "Indie" author is really difficult. This business is much tougher than I ever expected it to be. I have not invested in any of the software either but I do see come up as well? Way too much information flooding the internet!! Good luck to you and keep doing what you love :) Debra
