After a year and a half of fairly consistent writing work coming my way, I experienced something of a drought the past few weeks. It occurs to me at this time that I haven’t diversified enough in terms of clients and that is the risk you run. If the work slows down for your main client, you’re just kind of left to figure it out.

The freelance life is certainly not for everyone, and I’m only able to do it because of my living situation. It’s been a while since I had to consider what other lives I might think about leading and now that I have an assignment again I don’t have to consider such things.

Feeling the crunch makes everything feel like doom and gloom, and I could also do without those feelings. But I make money doing what I’m good at, and that is worth so much more than anything else I could be doing with my time.
