Very true. I’ve found that things get messier the more sources are required: scheduling interviews, emailing follow-up questions, and sending copies of the pub when the article comes out can all eat up precious time.

Late last year, I vowed not to take on too many source-heavy stories at once for the sake of my sanity. So, far I’ve managed to do a few articles requiring sources and also branch out into writing quizzes, essays, and other fun stuff. It’s much quicker if the article allows you to write from your own experiences!

Monthly and yearly expectations can’t hurt, but if you’re accounting each day, you know right away when things are getting off track.
